BANGKOK, July 19 (Reuters): The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced that it expects the tourism industry to generate revenue of up to 2.38 trillion baht (US$65.03 billion) next year.

In a best-case scenario, revenue of 1.5 trillion baht would come from international visitors and 880 billion baht from domestic tourism, TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn said, adding that would be equivalent to about 80% of the sector's performance before the pandemic struck.
