While there were heavy bookings for April under the government's domestic hotel travel scheme, the number of outbound tourists during the Songkran holiday period remains low.
The Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA) said the subsidy scheme aimed to stimulate domestic travel during the Songkran holiday.
Outbound tourism during April -- the peak season -- would be more sluggish than usual because of high travel costs, mainly due to expensive airfares, said the association.
