An analysis of the possibilities and challenges of long stay tourism in Thailand

Abstract

The tourism sector is significant in emerging nations like Thailand. The cost of lodging is a significant component of practically every trip, thus it is important to consider accommodation development while trying to draw in visitors from other nations. The long-stay tourism industry is crucial since longer visitor stays result in more revenue. Following this, other research on long-term lodging of all forms has been conducted, with an emphasis on both the tourist and real estate sectors. The best tourist option in Thailand is long-term travel. As evidenced by the American, European, and Japanese visitors, the target market is tourists from nations with high costs of living, frigid climates, and aging populations. Therefore, it is anticipated that the tourist demographic will change in future, leading to the emergence of the retirement home niche market as a part of long-stay tourism. The characteristics of long-stay tourism in Thailand are examined in this paper, and we assess the theoretical and conceptual framework as an analysis of Thailand's tourism. Examining the current situation of the Thai long-stay tourist business is the initial and main objective of this study. There is currently no perfect answer, but various alternatives from comparable markets in representative nations have been used as examples to subsequently create tourism accommodation in Thailand for long-stay tourism.

Defining Luxury and High-End Tourism – Reflections on the Key Issues and Market Trends

“…One example is the off er of 5-star hotels in Hurghada in Egypt or Alanya in Turkey, where the cost of a full board (all inclusive) stay, especially during off -season, may be lower than the cost of daily living in some Western European countries. Indeed, some residents of high-GDP (per capita) countries go on luxury holidays partly motivated by a saving such choice generates in daily expenses in their home country (Kežman, Goriup 2023;Madhyamapurush 2023).…”

Exploring Thai Vernacular Houses for Heritage Tourism along the Western Bangkok Canals

“…Prakraiwan (2017) emphasized the cultural tourism potential of the Bangkok Canal, exploring its historical, physical, economic, and socio-cultural aspects. Madhyamapurush (2023) examined the characteristics of long-stay tourism in Thailand, particularly the potential emergence of the retirement home niche market. Suriya (2011) conducted a panel data analysis to investigate the impact of tourism on household income, poverty reduction, and income distribution at the village level.…”
