in the 1960s were the stable political atmosphere and the development of
Bangkok as a crossroads of international air transportation. The hotel
industry and retail industry both expanded rapidly due to tourist demand.
It was also boosted by the presence of US soldiers who started to arrive
in the 1960s for Rest and Recuperation (R&R) during the Vietnam war
period. Coinciding, international mass tourism sharply increased during
the same period due to the rising standard of living, more people
acquiring more free time and due to improvements in technology making it
possible to travel further, faster, cheaper and in greater numbers,
epitomised by the Boeing 747 which first flew commercially in 1970.
Thailand was one of the major players in Asia to capitalise on this
then-new trend. Tourist numbers have grown from 336,000 foreign visitors
and 54,000 R&R soldiers in 1967 to over 14 million international guests
visiting Thailand in 2007. The average duration of their stay in 2007 was
9.19 days, generating an estimated 547,782 million Thai baht, around 11
billion Euro. In 2007, Thailand was the 18th most visited country in the
World Tourism rankings with 14.5 million visitors. France, comparable to
Thailand in land area and population, led the list with nearly 82 million
foreign visitors. In 2008 Bangkok ranked 3rd behind London and New York in
Euro monitor International's list of "Top City Destinations" with
10,209,900 visitors, Pattaya 23rd with 4,406,300 visitors, Phuket 31st
with 3,344,700 visitors, and Chiang Mai ranked 78th place with 1,604,600
visitors. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, 55% of the
tourists in 2007 came from the Asia Pacific region, Japanese and
Malaysians forming the two biggest groups. The largest groups of Western
tourists come from the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the United
States and Scandinavia. The number of tourists arriving from the Middle
East and Russia is on the rise. Around 55% of Thailand's tourists are
return visitors. The peak period is during the Christmas and New Year
holidays when Western tourists flee the cold conditions. Explore Thailand
