According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the country is expected to welcome between 15 million to 15.5 million international arrivals in 2010, exceeding the official target of 14 million, if there are no 'political disturbances or epidemics'.

Similarly, domestic tourism is expected to improve from 2009 and the TAT has set an official target of 90 million for this segment in 2010.

Thailand has been one of the most popular tourism destinations in Asia but political instability and the global economic slowdown have adversely impacted on its tourism industry over the last two years.
