Korat hopes Unesco sites will spur visitor numbers

Quick Summary:

A sluggish economy and disputes over the planned transformation of land in Wang Nam Khieo district led tourism in Nakhon Ratchasima to grow at a slower rate than expected in 2024, according to Jim Thompson Farm.

The farm received 50,000-60,000 visitors in 2024, which was still far less than the 300,000 visitors it received during its peak years between 1990 and 1993.

As the disputed land includes Wang Nam Khieo district, which is well-known for its resorts, the issue also led to a decline in tourism activities in the area, especially from the public sector, said Mr Tong.
