Thailand's landmark move to legalise same-sex marriage is set to boost “rainbow tourism” by attracting four million more visitors annually, and generate about US$2 billion in revenue, according to travel platform Agoda.
The same-sex law that is slated to take effect in January will also create 152,000 full-time equivalent jobs and will help lift the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.3%, according to an Agoda-commissioned study published on Thursday.
