          Nattiya Hothong, Marketing Manager, Skyscanner Thailand, said "2016 marks a significant, yet interesting year especially for Thailand's tourism industry. Judging from the emerging destinations searched on Skyscanner, these are also the destinations which are highly searched on Google and commonly found sharing on Social Media and online community in Thailand throughout the year. This
          reflects how online travel reviews and sharable contents have more or less impacts on Thai traveller's decision making when it comes to trips planning." Ms. Hothong added "In addition to this, we have the government policies on special holiday announcements in May and July 2016, tourism campaigns and tax break policy which contributed to the growth in tourism."
