Thailand's Tourism Authority governor said he is pressing ahead with attracting ten million foreign tourists to visit the country.

 

Yutthasak Suphasorn said they wouldn't be coming until the third quarter of 2021 but then they would be here in their millions. 

 

That was the target.

 

And they would be spending a whopping 500 billion baht, he told Thai PBS. 

 

Even though there has been a new wave of Covid-19 infections he was anxious to stress that it was still all systems go to return Thailand to mass tourism. 

 

Even the New Year period was destined to be good, he said on Friday, with 2.7 million Thais expected to travel spending 17 billion baht in the process. 

 

The lack of lockdown would help along with clear guidelines of how to handle visits from tourists in tourism areas.

 

The upbeat message comes as Thaivisa reports today of complete obliteration of tourism at New Year in Rayong and a desolate Christmas on once thriving Koh Samui. 

 

In Rayong nearly 100% of seaside tours were cancelled and hotel bookings were down 80%.

 

Thaivisa notes that there appears a strong disconnect between reality on the ground and the pronouncements of the TAT governor.

 

Yutthasak was with the Digital Council of Thailand and health authorities on Christmas Day promoting an online platform for booking 14 day ASQ and ALQ quarantine facilities.
