Thailand to tout 'trusted' tourism in coronavirus era

[Accidental Tourist]

The saga continued... like a story book of the Brother Grimm.

[Nanaplaza666]

Maybe the government should give all those people out of a job the chance to make some money and give them a job to clean up all the beaches and areas around the beaches and a lot of other areas where building sites are leaving all there S@#T laying around everywhere . Cleans up the country and helps people in need . 

[TKDfella]

China is on the list as '..low risk...'?????! I think that statement in itself says it all.

It's not going away mate. These organisms were here long before we were and will be here long after us. Secondly, a vaccine is not necessary, go take a look at how effective the Influenza A and B vaccines are and, last but not least, take a look how the common cold virus, or the influenza virus, or the AIDS virus, etc., etc. are treated. Do they have "viable" treaments? How many trillions have been spent on AIDS research?There will be no "viable" treatment. Not in our lifetimes... This latest iteration of biological life forms is just one of many other constantly evolving organisms. What we have witnessed in the last 6 months has nothing to do with our safety, our health, our well-being. This COVID event, when you seriously take the time to look into it outside of the bought and paid for, controlled media, you come real(eyes) that we have all been duped. In other words... this entire lockdown is all contrived for nefarious ulterior motives... and it ain't good mate. 

So the purpose of this rant is what?

Yes we know that viruses have been around for years and that the majority survive after contracting them.

I have had colds during my lifetime, the various influenzas, In February just before my seventieth birthday I picked up Influenza A and pneumonia, yes sick for a week or so but still alive.

Regarding AIDS don’t know anyone who has ever been infected but probably like me they avoid the people and practices that put you at risk.

I would be more concerned about Hepatitis A and B which  the doctors tell me is easier to pick up.

Finally please enlighten me as to what are these “nefarious ulterior motives” because if it is all contrived there must be a conspiracy between governments around the world.

I have been mainly following what has been occurring in Australia and the U.K. and the restrictions there have been far stricter than anything occurring in Thailand.

[GAZZPA]

What does "trust" tourism mean? Every hotel, everywhere in the world will be implementing some sort of social distancing. Are there guarantees for tourists that you won't get the virus? How will that work and what happens to someone if they do get the virus? Is it the government will pay the healthcare costs? It all seems like a hollow promise that will mean nothing to anyone really. Thailand seem to be living in a bubble again regarding the low priority that tourism will be for a long time until people recover from this. They really need to think of boosting other sectors of the economy to try and create employment for people who rely on the toursi trade and stop whistling in the wind.

Time to change the record..

This message is starting to irritate me. 

 

Safe areas are not just Asian countries. 

Australia and new Zealand surely fit the criteria. 

 

I have a family home and people who need me back there.

If Thailand allows the travel, all i have to do then is convince Australia to allow me to leave on compassionate grounds..

 

C'mon Thailand what are you waiting for?

Just an unshowered opinion from an Ai Farang but if I was visiting from overseas the first question I would ask is how many are being tested? After they open up they need to test to the extreme to gain the confidence of people no matter how smelly they might be to deputy PMs they sure aren't as stupid as all that.

I think they are wishing on a dream. Once the borders are open we ARE going to get new cases being imported, so their goes the trust, and many tourists will be put off by the extreme measures they will probably need to comply with. Add to that many around the world are broke right now so traveling is a low item on the shopping list so any resumption in tourism is likely  to be painfully slow.

Mate I am telling you it's the Chinese tourists they are thinking about.

Good point. No one will come if these restrictive measures aren't eased. I say just wait until the numbers go down globally, which isn't too far away and then you can re-open without restrictions.

"Hygiene is a must, so offering bespoke services will give boutique hotels with unique selling points an advantage over corporate operators."

 

The best ''Hygiene Plan'' in the world depends on the staff employed. The majority of hotel cleaning staff are unlikely to understand or have the desire to follow strict hygiene/cleaning rules and will carry on working much as they always have.

 

The campaign, to be launched later in the year, will be aimed at young affluent travellers from places that are considered low-risk such as China, South Korea and Taiwan.

 

''Low risk''? It was reported 2 weeks ago that some area in China has been locked down and affecting 1.8 million people -- and South Korea has just tightened restrictions due to outbreaks!

 

And the ''affluent'' ? Well, some will be happy to fly in, get to a resort and stay there and do nothing else, but many want a bit more than that and Thailand is ''tacky''!  Outside those lovely resorts are piles of rubbish -- left by Thais whose living depends on tourists but are stupid so dump their rubbish on any overgrown patch of land outside the resorts -- snorkel over areas of dead coral and no fish; rip-off merchants; restaurants that if one delved behind closed doors would find them unhygienic; roads full of idiot suicide drivers; unsmiling locals; and a corrupt police force!

This is the end of the end of the great Thai experience. Everything must be sanitized in a New World Order... Everyone must comply with the "New Normal"... A dark time in history. Globally we are being further enslaved... so very sad for our children's future.

Possibly correct. 

Every time i link up to "her in doors" she is either eating, or getting ready to eat.

And the house seems full of neighbour's I've never seen before. 

Oh well, at least my money is helping the neighbour's too.

More than Prayuts false hope and payment offers are doing.

Thailand is positioning itself as a trusted destination for international tourists after travel restrictions ease, capitalising on its relative success in containing the coronavirus outbreak, industry officials say. The Southeast Asian country, the first to report a virus case outside of China, wants to build on its reputation and remake its popular image as a destination for big tour groups.

Thailands reputation is globally known, but it doesn't match the "trusted" logo !

They don't want us anymore. 

But it was ok to support the thai women and their kids.

Not to mention the ones that were working in the entertainment industry.

 

The hidden costs and pain and suffering the government never seems to mention. 

 

Lets see if the chosen ones (tourists) step up to the mark..

I don't think so...
