BANGKOK - Foreign tourists in Thailand could be more than 5 million this year, a private tourism group said on Wednesday, following a resumption of the country's quarantine waiver.

The group is urging the government to ease travel curbs further to help the vital tourism sector, Vichit Prakobgoson, vice president, the Tourism Council of Thailand, told a news conference.
