泰国暂缓每趟出境1000泰铢旅行税:财政部长称为保第四季度旅游势头

曼谷消息:泰国财政部长 Ekniti Nitithanprapas 10月22日宣布,暂缓实施每趟出境征收1,000泰铢旅行税的计划。税务部门此前已就该计划公开征求意见。
Ekniti 表示,暂缓决定旨在保住2026年第四季度的旅游势头;同时,中东局势推高能源价格,对航空与旅游业构成冲击,此时开征新费可能进一步影响旅客出行意愿。政府没有给出新的实施日期。
旅游业是泰国经济的支柱产业,年末旺季对全年旅游收入至关重要。业界此前对出境旅行税的征收方式与用途多有讨论,政府表示将视经济与旅游形势再评估推行安排。
Thailand Shelves Planned 1,000-Baht Departure Tax to Protect Fourth-Quarter Tourism
BANGKOK — Thailand's Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas announced on October 22 that the planned 1,000-baht-per-trip departure tax will be shelved for now. The revenue department had earlier held a public consultation on the proposal.
Ekniti said the postponement aims to protect tourism momentum in the fourth quarter of 2026. With the Middle East situation pushing up energy prices and pressuring aviation and tourism, introducing a new levy now could further dampen travel demand. The government gave no new implementation date.
Tourism is a pillar of the Thai economy, and the year-end high season is crucial to annual tourism revenue. The industry had debated the levy's collection method and use of proceeds; the government said it will reassess the plan in light of economic and tourism conditions.
