Report from The Nation dated Friday 12 January 2007 :-
South Korean visitors to Thailand exceed one million
=======================================
Visitors to Thailand from South Korea crossed the one million mark last year, above the Tourism Authority of Thailand Seoul office's target of 970,000.
This achievement is significant, representing an increase of nearly 20 per cent over the 815,862 visitors to the Kingdom in 2005. It was a result of aggressive pro-active marketing campaigns with industry partners and via online marketing.
"We went particularly strong on Web marketing campaigns, partnering with Daum, one of Korea's hugely popular online media websites which has millions of registered members and records millions of transactions per day, as well as other partner websites such as N Tour and Epson," said Sasi-apha Sukontarat, director of TAT Seoul.
Even with regular inbound group tours flowing steadily during the peak season, a special effort was made to target quality visitors in line with the new policy of the Thai government. These key niche markets comprise families, working professionals, students, golfers, honeymooners and incentive groups.
Travel by these individuals is not limited to peak season.
Thailand is the third-most important destination for Korean visitors after China and Japan. South Korea has become one of the fastest-growing source markets for the last few years, thanks to visa-free access and plentiful airline seat capacity to Bangkok as well as to regional airports like Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and U-tapao.
Korean Airlines, Asiana and Orient Thai Airlines all fly direct services from Korea to Thailand, with many other passengers coming via intermediate points like Taipei and Hong Kong.
In 2005, Korean visitors recorded a daily average per capita expenditure of US$ 102.4 (Bt3,685), generating foreign exchange earnings of $718.46 million.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 2 April 2007 :-
Japanese tourists drop on security fears, baht
Concerns about safety and the ongoing appreciation of the baht have taken a toll on tourism, with Japanese arrivals to Thailand dropping by 10% year-on-year in the first three months of 2007.
''Normally, the annual growth of Japanese tourist arrivals to Thailand is about 8-10%. If the downward trend continues until the end of the year, we're afraid that Japanese arrivals will not reach the number we achieved last year,'' said Anake Srishevachart, president of the Thai-Japan Tourism Association, representing inbound travel providers.
Last year, Japanese tourist arrivals totalled 1.3 million, a rise from 1.1 million in 2005.
Although the figure for the first three months of 2007 is not yet official, Japanese tourist arrivals at Suvarnabhumi Airport were reported down by 7.93% to 95,759 from 100,028 at the same period last year.
Mr Anake attributed the drop to a lack of confidence in Thailand's safety measures, growing unrest in the South and fears of further incidents in Bangkok such as the Dec 31 bombings.
Many charter flights such as large tour, incentive and student groups had been cancelled, with most deciding to visit other countries such as China and Vietnam.
Mr Anake said the baht's appreciation had also played a key role by increasing the cost of visiting Thailand. The baht recently reached a high of 28 against 100 yen and now is trading around 29.5, compared with 38 in the first two months of last year.
To encourage Japanese tourists to visit Thailand, authorities are being urged to request co-operation from major Japanese tour operators to help reassure potential travellers.
Mr Anake said the private sector should also focus on attracting tourists from Eastern Europe, the Middle East and India.
Thai authorities are scheduled to visit Japan from today until Friday to promote trade, investment and tourism as part of the celebration of the the 120th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Thailand.
Seminars on trade, investment and tourism will be held in +++yo and Osaka.
According to Phornsiri Manoharn, the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Japanese and Thai governments have agreed to designate 2007 as the Thailand-Japan Tourism Exchange Year. Many activities will be staged to underline the relationship between the two countries.

some bad news this is an other consequential effect of hike in baht price IMHO when you have planned to spend it makes a little difference if your purchase power falls slightly
