BANGKOK – 14 JAN - Thailand's tourism sector is reeling as safety concerns prompt Chinese tourists to cancel trips ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday. The tipping point came after Chinese actor Wang Xing was allegedly abducted in Thailand and trafficked to Myanmar under false pretenses. Although he was later rescued, the incident has sparked widespread fear among potential travelers, leading to significant cancellations.
In response, Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports assured visitors of strengthened safety measures. The Tourist Police are now offering 24-hour assistance, while the Tourism Authority of Thailand works with stakeholders to restore confidence. Despite these efforts, experts warn that Chinese tourist arrivals may drop by 10 to 20 percent, impacting Thailand's economy.
