Late next month the Tourism and Sports Ministry would lead a delegation of Thai tourism-related operators to Saudi Arabia to introduce their products and services and the movement should attract 200,000 Saudi Arabian visitors to Thailand and their visits should bring about 20 billion baht of the national revenue this year, he said.
