The number of tourists arriving from Australia and Europe, particularly Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia declined. Travellers from China even hit a negative nine percent year-on-year growth rate.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns regarding the US-China trade war, uncertainty with the global economy, and strength of the local currency all led to the downward slump.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/foreign-buyers-interested-in-phuket-resorts-jll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Foreign buyers are now looking to invest in Phuket resorts, says JLL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, passenger arrivals bounced back at three percent in the third quarter and at eight percent in the fourth quarter with eight percent, thanks to the tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and India.<\/p>\n<p>The tourist arrivals at Phuket International Airport is predicted to be around 9,109,487 in 2019, with an eight percent increase in the December year-on-year monthly 2019 figure.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the media reports claiming that most Phuket hotels were \u201chalf empty\u201d throughout the year, Managing Director at C9 Hotelworks Bill Barnett has this to say: \u201c[The] current 2019 data that reflects over nine million passenger arrivals at Phuket International Airport and hotel occupancy levels for the year in the low 70\u2019s is contrary to the media claims which are unsupported by a lack of metrics or attribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile 2019 saw a slight drop in occupancy and marked reduction in average rates and RevPAR [revenue per available room], these are mainly attributed to an appreciating Thai baht and reaction to increased competition in leisure destinations. The latter part of 2019 trending showed higher demand which is encouraging, but seasonable challenges remain a key challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Propelled by
