AI insight

AI-generated

Thailand's proposed visa policy tightening reduces maximum tourist stay from 60 to 30 days, potentially deterring long-stay tourists and affecting tourism revenue. The mechanism is regulatory (visa rule change) with demand-side impact on tourist arrivals and spending. Airlines and tourism-dependent businesses face lower volume and revenue. Impact is Thailand-specific.
