The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) reports continued growth in travel from Sweden and Norway this year. According to TAT, Thailand welcomed 185,580 visitors from Sweden, up 9.52% year-on-year, while 104,618 travellers from Norway represented an increase of 13.06% from 1 January to 7 December.
TAT said demand from European markets has been supported by new long-haul routes, including recent services to Thailand operated by Norse Atlantic Airways, which launched flights from Stockholm, Oslo and Manchester to Bangkok and Phuket.
Sweden and Norway remain high-potential tourism markets for Thailand, with Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Surat Thani and Chiang Mai listed as the most popular destinations.
