Negative Effects of Tourists’ Expenditure
Tourism expenditure is a very significant factor in the economic growth of every country. In other words, the more the tourists spend the better it is for the economy. Thailand is also known for having a very high demand in tourism, as it is cheap and very convenient to many travelers. However this sometimes causes negligence and over-utilization of tourism resources and this can have a negative impact on Thailand’s economy (Naewmalee, 2005). For example if a tourist travels to Thailand and his/her expenditure is fixed with every following visit then this does not generate the revenue that is expected because their expenditure is not increasing (Naewmalee, 2005). “Recently, the tourists’ daily expenditure in Thailand, which is a direct measurement of revenue per tourist, shows a declining trend due to the falling of relative price” (Pongsirirushakun, 2003).

The information on the charts was taken from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (Naewmalee, 2005). Table 2 shows that throughout the years tourism in Thailand is increasing which is a positive thing. However the chart below shows us that even though tourism was increasing, the daily expenditures were decreasing. According to Dr. Apichat, a research specialist and Mr. Kiratipong who is also a researcher in TDRI economics program, the daily expenditure per tourist is low compared to their length of stay. Even though the

number of tourists from Asian countries in last 10 years has been growing up. More, the stronger of foreigner currency is also one of the factor of increasing in number of tourist.
Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

The tourism industry has grown exponentially over the previous twenty years, it is now a worldwide industry, both in terms of tourists and host destinations, and ‘is no longer confined to the developed countries that traditionally provided the demand for world travel’ (Page & Connell, 2006, pp.4). World leaders have long been recognising the huge economic advantages that a booming tourism industry can bring to their nations, and vast amounts of money have been invested set up the infrastructure to support such an industry. However, aside from the large economic advantages to the industry, there are inevitably negative impacts to the host nation and the world as a whole. These negative impacts usually materialise in the form of
Thailand is located in Southeast Asia and occupies the western half of the Indochinese Peninsula and the northern two-thirds of the Malay Peninsula. Its government is a constitutional monarchy which is much similar to the government of the United Kingdom. The economic system of Thailand is considered to be a mixed system with the combination of market capitalist and socialist. It is an export-oriented country and owns a number of Asia’s largest industries such as shrimp and rice. Its economy is slowing down due to the political instability. This paper is going to demonstrate some main aspects of Thailand including its historical and cultural background, political system, the role of government, financial and educational sector, economy and so on.
Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry
Thailand may be overcrowded with tourists, but it has thousands of fascinating locations that make it the perfect holiday destination. When you say Thailand, you automatically think about beachside bungalows, luxury spa retreats, white sand beaches, and crystal clear water. However, this country means more than that. Thailand is about wild nature, diversity, tuk tuks, monks, temples, communism, astonishing views, markets, craziness, diving, street vendors, giant Buddhas and the list can easily go on.
