    A Case Study of the Tourism Industry in Thailand

    Journal of the International Academy for Case Studies Volume 23, Number 1, 2017 SURVIVAL OF A MARKET LEADER IN A REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF EMERGING ECONOMIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN THAILAND Nittaya Wongtada, National Institute of Development Administration Donyapreuth Krairit, National Institute of Development Administration CASE DESCRIPTIONS The primary subject matter of this case concerns tourism industry, industry analysis and competition, ethics and social conflict management. Secondary issues examined include alternative analysis, alternative response selection. The case has a difficulty level of five, appropriate for first year graduate level. The case is designed to be taught in 2 class hours and is expected to require 2 hours of outside preparation by students CASE SYNOPSIS In September 2016, the committee of the National Tourism Policy of Thailand held consecutive meetings to consider the National Tourism Development Plan for 2017-2021. Accounting for 8.5 percent of GDP in 2015, the tourism industry was important to the country. Following the Thai military coup in May 2014, the nation’s economy had been in shambles. The revenue from tourism was more vital to the economy than ever. However, this industry brought many problems to the society, including increased natural resource deterioration and crime syndicates. Competition from other destinations, including ASEAN member countries, was becoming more intense and could be a future threat to the industry since international tourism flows will be diverted. Economic recession in several sources of tourists was a looming threat. The massive rising of Chinese tourists was serendipitous, as the country’s revenue from this group was dominating the inflow travel trade, but it is too risky to rely on a single market.
