Minister of Tourism and Sports Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn chaired an emergency meeting on 9 March to assess the impact of regional instability in the Middle East on tourism and provide urgent assistance to affected foreign tourists.

Key measures now in place:
 Airlines are being coordinated on flight adjustments and cancellations

 Tourist Assistance Centers (TACs) at major airports are on hand to support affected travelers 

 Immigration authorities are ready to process stay extensions for visitors unable to depart as scheduled 

 Hotel operators are being encouraged to offer flexible rates for stranded guests

Thailand welcomed over 6.54 million visitors and generated approximately US$10.1 billion in revenue in the first two months of 2026 — and protecting that trust remains a top priority.

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is committed to ensuring every visitor feels safe, supported, and welcome, no matter the global circumstances.
