Thailand has designated 202 1 Spring Festival in China as a legal holiday. Why?

Many people are familiar with Thailand. After all, this is a tourist country that many people will mention. At the beginning of 20021,Thailand designated the Spring Festival in China as a legal holiday, which shocked many netizens. The reason why Thailand does this is mainly because there are a large number of local Chinese, and many people still keep the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. In addition, making the Spring Festival a legal holiday can attract more tourists from China to a certain extent, thus promoting the development of Thailand's tourism industry, and then driving Thailand's economy.

First, there are many local Chinese in Thailand.

Thailand is a big country of Chinese immigrants in history. At present, at least 7 million Chinese in Thailand have settled here, and most of them still have the custom of Spring Festival. Therefore, during the Spring Festival every year, Chinese communities all over the country spontaneously organize activities to celebrate the Spring Festival. Especially in Chinatown in Bangkok, the celebration scene is very lively, and even the Thai royal family and local government will send people to attend, which shows that Thailand attaches great importance to the Spring Festival in China. Therefore, it is not surprising that Thailand lists the Spring Festival as a legal holiday.

Secondly, making the Spring Festival in China a legal holiday can promote the development of tourism in Thailand.

Thailand is also a country with a very developed tourism industry, which receives many tourists from all over the world every year. Among many tourists, China tourists account for a large proportion. In addition, many families now choose to travel during the Spring Festival, and Thailand naturally wants to seize this opportunity. After all, if they take the Spring Festival as a legal holiday and hold related activities, China tourists can feel the flavor of the New Year in a foreign country, which will attract some tourists who are not at home for the New Year to a certain extent, thus promoting the development of tourism, stimulating local consumption and increasing the local economy.

In a word, Thailand can kill two birds with one stone by making China Spring Festival a legal holiday, which can not only appease the homesickness of local Chinese, but also attract more tourists to Thailand, so they are naturally willing to do it.
