Atta says the Houthi strikes near Riyadh airport could further weigh on Middle East travel, which has not fully recovered from earlier Gulf conflict. Thai flight operations to Thailand remain normal, and Q4 is the low season for this market, so a severe impact is not expected. Arrivals from the region may still fall short of last year's 752,510, due to conflict, reduced flight capacity and high airfares. Tour operators are shifting to longer stays, higher-value packages and medical or five-star offerings. If you serve Gulf visitors, consider upselling value and length of stay rather than chasing volume.
