Thailand tops ASEAN for international tourist arrivals Thailand emerges as the top destination for international tourists in the ASEAN region, as revealed by Sudawan Wangsuphakitgosol, the Minister of Tourism and Sports, during the 27th ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF 2024) in Vientiane, Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The forum’s theme, Quality and Responsible Tourism – Sustaining ASEAN Future, reflected a collective intent among ASEAN tourism ministers to restore and promote responsible and sustainable tourism that enhances the competitiveness and development of the region’s tourism sector. The figures presented at the meeting highlighted a significant rise in ASEAN’s international tourist arrivals by 153% in 2023 compared to the previous year. The success is attributed to two marketing campaigns, imaginASEAN and the ASEAN Tourism Recovery Campaign, which drew a staggering 2.5 billion participants globally. In the ASEAN region, Thailand led the pack in 2023 with an impressive count of 28.09 million foreign visitors, marking an increase of 153.94% from the 11.06 million recorded the previous year. Vietnam followed with 12.06 million international tourists, a substantial increase of 344.2% from the 3.66 million the year before. Singapore also saw a healthy growth of 130%, with 12.37 million foreign tourists, up from 5.37 million. Cambodia and the Philippines each reported 5.45 million international tourists, representing increases of 139.5% and 105.38%, respectively. Brunei, though smaller in numbers, experienced a dramatic surge of 345.61%, with 82,109 tourists compared to just 18,426 in the previous year, reported Sanook.

𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 2023: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 As we look back on 2023, it's clear that Italy's tourism sector has seen remarkable growth, but which region stood out the most in terms of visitor numbers? The answer is Veneto, which emerged as Italy's premier destination, welcoming 21.1 million tourists and accounting for 72 million overnight stays, according to data directly from the Veneto region itself. These figures represent a significant increase of 30.2% over 2022, which itself was a record year. This growth was primarily driven by international tourists, who accounted for 70% of the total visits to the region. Notably, there was a significant rise in visitors from the United States and Germany in recent years. Luca Zaia, the President of the Veneto region, sheds light on what attracts tourists most: an authentic connection with nature and everyday life. This preference has led to a surge in demand for non-hotel accommodations like apartments and B&Bs, and a keen interest in open-air tourism. Veneto's tourism economy thrives not on a single sector but on a diverse range of offerings – beaches, lakes, mountains, art cities, thermal baths, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Nationally, Italy saw 851 million overnight stays throughout the year across both hotel and non-hotel accommodations, generating an economic impact of €84.5 billion on local territories. Over half of the tourists were international visitors, underscoring Italy's appeal on the global stage. A notable aspect of this success is the higher daily spending by international tourists, averaging €68, compared to €62 for Italian tourists. This performance prompts a broader reflection on our approach to tourism. It's not about competing with the hotel next door; it's about recognizing our place in the international tourism elite. With this perspective, we should focus on developing synergies with local and national partners to elevate the 'Made in Italy' brand even further. #veneto #tourism #tourists #visititaly #marketing #lucazaia
