In April 2023, the island of Phuket in Thailand welcomed approximately 63.5 thousand visitors from Russia. Visitors from China accounted for the second-highest number of arrivals, with around 46.7 thousand. Other major groups of foreign arrivals were from India, Australia, and England.
Phuket HKT
The Thai government lifted the international COVID-19 travel restrictions completely in late 2022. Nonetheless, the vast majority of arrivals at Phuket International Airport were domestic travelers that same year. The total passenger traffic in Phuket International Airport, which flew with Thai Air Asia, amounted to around 1.4 million. The number of international aircraft movements at HKT airport in 2022 was not nearly on the pre-COVID level but saw a significant increase compared to the previous year.
Hotels in Phuket
Tourists come from all around the world to experience Phuket’s cultural attractions, such as the Big Buddha and its temple, or old Phuket Town, as well as its stunning beaches. In 2022, the occupancy rate of hotels in Phuket, Thailand, was 48 percent. This was forecast to increase to 69 percent in 2023. This was certainly an improvement as Thailand lifted travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Consequently, the revenue per available room of hotels in Phuket, Thailand increased significantly as well that year amounting to more than two thousand Thai baht.
