SHENZHEN, China, 5 October: DidaTravel, a tech-driven global travel distribution company headquartered in Shenzhen, reports remarkable hotel sales growth following Thailand\u2019s introduction of a visa exemption scheme for Chinese travellers valid until 29 February 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thai government introduced a 30-day visa-free stay for Chinese nationals starting 25 September. DidaTravel says a positive trend in visits is already evident, as Chinese travellers\u2019 bookings for Thailand hotels grew by 30% almost immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

During this year’s Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, late September and early October, Chinese travellers’ hotel bookings in Thailand are now up by a staggering 700% compared to the previous year as demand approaches 2019 levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Average Daily Rate (ADR) has also witnessed a significant rise of 42% year-on-year. These statistics reflect Chinese travellers’ growing interest and confidence in Thailand as a preferred holiday destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DidaTravel booking trends show that Chinese travellers have strongly preferred cities such as Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, and the picturesque islands of Samui, Ko Phi Phi, and Krabi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DidaTravel\u2019s chief marketing officer Gareth Matthews commented: \u201cThailand is well known for its rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes. We are excited about the recent announcement from the government of Thailand to implement visa-free travel for Chinese visitors. At DidaTravel we connect 4,000 hotels with competitive prices in Thailand and recognise the immense potential this holds for our industry\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the introduction of this visa exemption scheme, Thailand should welcome around 4  to  4.4 million Chinese tourists in 2023, thereby achieving the forecasted revenue target of THB257,500 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
