Reading the report
The report describes the Phuket airport expansion as being at design stage, with a target completion year of 2030. This is a dated project outlook, not a guarantee of delivery.
What this means for buyers
Tourism and transport research can provide context for an area’s demand. It does not establish legal rental permission, achievable occupancy or the net income of a particular condo or villa.
