snoop1130 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 PHUKET (NNT) - The government expects about two million foreign tourists to visit Phuket this year after the island reopens to vaccinated visitors from July 1. Tourism Council of Thailand vice president Vichit Prakobgosol said the holidaymakers may generate about 105 billion baht in revenue in the second half. It will be the first time in more than a year that the island allows visitors without the mandatory two-week quarantine. He said the Chinese, who were the biggest group of tourists to Thailand before the pandemic, are expected to return in July on chartered flights, while visitors from Europe will likely start arriving during the winter months. Mr Vichit said it’s good that the majority of countries with high numbers of vaccinations are the main markets for Thai tourism, adding that the government should finalize agreements and vaccine passports with various countries to allow visitors to return without having to quarantine. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-03-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olad Mate Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Yeah well I hope they don't need a Visa extension while here. Immigration in Phuket the last few weeks is absolutely Insane. Little plastic baskets on the floor with hundreds of passports sitting in then. People lined up to the road. No one in that joint has a clue and there no one even here yet... I dont get it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardColeman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thought recently they quoted about 3 million tourists only this year. Are they really so deluded to think 66% of all foreign tourists will be going to Phuket ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
