is moving to ease restrictions and allow foreign tourists to use more conveniently.

Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said at a press briefing on Monday that the government aims to promote innovation and support the use of digital assets to stimulate Thailand’s tourism industry while offering more payment options for visitors. The so-called TouristDigipay program will begin an 18-month trial through a regulatory sandbox in the fourth quarter, he added.

“We want to take every step to make it easier for foreign tourists to stay in Thailand,” Pichai said. In addition to cash and credit cards, tourists will now have a new option.

From wildfires across Europe to conflicts impacting nearby tourism hubs, and a weaker U.S. dollar steering travelers toward affordable destinations in Latin America and Southeast Asia, holiday planning in 2025 is more intentional than ever.

Travelers are weighing factors like climate patterns, visa rules, and currency movements while exploring options such as "coolcations" in Iceland and Norway or off-peak travel to Mediterranean spots.

’s beauty is unmatched, but so are its summer . The good news? With the right choices, you can still experience the island’s dreamlike charm without the chaos.

Visit early mornings or late evenings
Take a volcanic wine tour
Explore quieter villages like Pyrgos or Megalochori
Hike the caldera trail
Relax on hidden beaches like Vlychada or Exo Gialos

Sometimes the best moments come when you step away from the busiest spots and slow down.

Tourists are booking cooler, quieter and less crowded vacations this year, pivoting away from Europe’s traditional summer hotspots amid growing concerns over blistering heat and raging wildfires.

The trend reaffirms the phenomenon of so-called “ ” a portmanteau of “cool” and “vacation,” which refers to tourists seeking cooler climes instead of a hot, peak-summer destination.

Record-breaking heat has swept across Europe in recent days, pushing temperatures in some areas well above 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) and fueling regional wildfires.

As tourism continues to grow, the challenge is finding a balance between accessibility for travelers and for local communities.
