The RT-PCR testing requirement for fully vaccinated tourists traveling to Thailand is no longer required, Tourism Authority of Thailand deputy governor for International Marketing Tanes Petsuwan announced in a press conference held at Conrad Manila.
He cites that the country’s tourism comprises 20 percent of its gross domestic product , that’s why the 80 percent tourist decline in the past two years was a big blow to their economy. The first “gimmick” that the deputy governor cited is the “new segments,” such as the “workation” or “bleisure”—a portmanteau for “work and vacation” and “business and leisure.” This targets the Millennials or what Petsuwan called the “digital nomads,” who are working while traveling. Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai are among the places he mentioned that are ideal for this type of traveling because of their new coworking spaces.
Lastly, they will also promote the “new way,” which will focus on responsible tourism to inspire travelers and let them experience traveling in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. The “new way” aims to give back to the local community too.
