There are various international gates, border and means of transportation, that our tourists can step in to our country. The tourists who visit Thailand via ATTA's service is smaller proportion when compared with the others who don't use ATTA's service. If we discover both, we can clearly see the overall picture of our tourism situation. We can see which sector is bigger or smaller and which sector is growing more than the other.

But they might forget that now there are also big number of passengers that fly directly to Phuket and by pass Bangkok. And ATTA would not have the record of all those passengers. Also more and more customers are now booking through internet and not using the services of Tour Operators.
