webfact Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Pattaya: Follow Phuket's lead and buy vaccine for people in tourist industry, says sector leader Picture: Sophon Cable TV The former leader of the Pattaya Tourism Business Association Sinchai Wattanasatsathon in his capacity as representing the Flipper hotel group has given his ideas for inspiring confidence in the tourism sector for foreign tourists. Sinchai said that it is all very well that there had been no new cases of Covid and the situation in Pattaya was under control. But in an interview with Sophon Cable TV he said that the situation among businesses in Pattaya was still dire. Picture: Sophon Cable TV He favored an idea mooted by the private sector in Phuket, where the problems are similar, to buy vaccine from hospitals to vaccinate workers in the tourism sector first. This will inspire confidence among tourists, he said, saying that waiting for the rollout by the government would be too slow and could only see 60-70% of people vaccinated by the year end at best.
