BANGKOK, Oct 18 : Hollywood actor Russell Crowe was among the international travellers who entered Thailand via"Phuket Sandbox”.
Thailand pioneered Southeast Asia’s tourism reopening with its"Phuket Sandbox” on July 1 where fully vaccinated travellers with negative RT-PCR test result before entering the kingdom will be able to skip the 14-day quarantine. They must stay in the island for two weeks before travelling to other provinces in the kingdom.
On the contrary, local media claimed"Phuket Sandbox” received lukewarm response as it failed to meet 100,000 tourist arrivals target in the first three months, set by the Tourism and Sports Ministry."The sandbox initiative has been a lifeline for the tourism and hospitality industry in Phuket... It is a baby step to reopening,” said Development Director of Phuket Hotels Association Sumi Soorian.
She added that the tourism sector has seen positive signs of recovery with many hotels reopening while airlines resuming flights and people being hired. The easing of travel restrictions is also making Phuket an attractive destination for post-COVID-19 escape.
