Less dependent on international visitors than locations like Phuket or Koh Samui, Krabi's tourism sector (Thailand) is still standing tall despite the Covid epidemic owing to luring millions of domestic tourists in recent years. The Covid-19 epidemic has wreaked havoc on Thailand's tourism sector, particularly in popular foreign tourist locations like Bangkok and Phuket. Meanwhile, tourism in Krabi can survive the epidemic owing to the concurrent expansion of domestic and foreign markets. Krabi, in the south of Thailand, is known for its stunning landscape and lush tropical beaches. Visitors may also go diving to observe the coral at this location. Despite the reduction caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, Krabi received over 1.5 million visitors last year, with around 1 million of them being domestic tourists. Mr. Jesper Palmqvist, a representative of the consulting firm STR (Singapore), believes that pent-up tourism demand, along with the tiredness induced by the virus, has prompted Thai visitors to resort to nature more.
Krabi has created the proper model that the industry is striving for, rather than mass tourism and reliance on international visitors like Phuket or Koh Samui, according to the Krabi Hotel Market Report from June 2021. Domestic tourists to Krabi made up a large percentage of the total, with a consistent figure of 2.5 million in 2018 and 2.4 million in 2019. China is the largest foreign source market, accounting for 14% of all exports, followed by one European country such as the United Kingdom, Germany, or France. Mr. Bill Barnett, a representative of the reporting issuer, said that Krabi needs to continue to diversify market segments. In the coming time, with the entry of international hotel brands, Krabi's image will continue to be spread around the world.

Krabi Mayor Mr. Keeratisak Phukaoluan expressed optimism about the recovery of the Krabi tourism industry. The popularity of Phuket or Phang Nga makes Krabi widely known, even more, attractive because it is less congested compared to neighboring destinations. The Krabi airport is being enlarged, and a waste treatment technology that improves environmental quality is likely to boost passenger numbers shortly. Phuong Nhi Cre: vov #$gnal$#
