Phuket Tourism: Post-Covid Recovery and Future Outlook

The Foundation of Strong Rental Yields

Phuket’s tourism engine is the backbone of its real estate rental performance.
Since reopening, Phuket has returned to record tourist arrivals, surpassing
pre-Covid numbers in several months.

Here is what investors need to know.

Tourism Recovery Highlights

1. Record Arrivals

International arrivals into Phuket are now one of the highest in Thailand,
with strong demand from Russia, China, India, Europe, and the Middle East.

2. Year-Round Occupancy

High season occupancy reaches 80 to 95 percent in many areas.

Low season occupancy remains healthy due to:

  • Digital nomads
  • Long stay visitors
  • International retirees
  • Remote workers

3. Rising Daily Rates

Due to supply shortages and rising demand, villa and resort nightly rates
have increased dramatically.

4. Airline Expansion

New direct flights from major cities continue to strengthen Phuket’s
accessibility.

Future Projections

Tourism analysts and government forecasts expect:

  • Continuous tourism growth
  • Increasing long-stay visitor patterns
  • Higher demand for quality accommodation
  • Strengthening rental yields for investors

For real estate investors, this means high occupancy and reliable income for
the foreseeable future.
