Alarma en Tailandia por la caída inesperada del turismo

📌 In Tailandia, tourism is facing a critical decline, prompting Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong to hold an urgent meeting with stakeholders on a recent Wednesday. Key participants included ATTA, THA, the Tourism Council of Thailand, and the Airlines Association. Since 2025, visitor arrivals from major markets like China have dropped, despite an increase in individual tourist spending. China is Thailand's top market, followed by Malaysia, Russia, India, and South Korea. The crisis is partly attributed to a perceived decrease in safety, linked to unimplemented police measures.

Ryanair juega con Boeing y amenaza con los chinos

💸 Michael O'Leary, Ryanair CEO, threatens to switch to Comac planes over Boeing if Chinese prices are 10-20% better. Comac has produced only five planes in three years, and its C919 isn't expected to be certified in Europe until at least 2028, making the shift currently impossible for Ryanair. O'Leary is skilled in leveraging media for publicity, even making unsubstantiated claims like offering alternatives to passengers not wishing to fly on Ryanair's Max planes after past crashes.
