Foreigners who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 will be welcomed with open arms by Thailand through a new campaign set to launch during Q3, 2021.
Titled Welcome Back to Thailand Again, the campaign is the country’s bid to reclaim lost international arrivals throughout the pandemic.
According to Chamnan Srisawat, president of Tourism Council of Thailand, Thai travel operators have started talks with agencies in potential markets, such as China, to restart destination marketing and prepare for future trips.
More than one billion people across the world are expected to be vaccinated by the end of June 2021, which could bring about a return in travel demand.
If the campaign proves successful, it could save up to 400,000 hotel jobs and 400,000 in related businesses across Thailand.
In 2020, 6.9 million foreigners travelled to Thailand, down from 40 million in 2019. It is predicted that Thailand will only see 10 million footfalls this year. – TTGAsia.Com
