Tourism recovery: 13.8 million tourists will come to Thailand next year if 500K Thais are vaxxed daily

[BestB]

I keep reading many new statements with many IFs in it.

 

Pattaya was suppose to vaccinate 40 000, which then turned out to be 30 000 which then was reduced to 20 000 because do not have trained professionals to make a simple injection.

 

So how exactly are they planning to vaccinate 500 000 per day when they can not even vaccinate 20 000, and that is in addition to not actually having 500 000 doses per day on top of having many Thai scared to get the vaccine due to a number of deaths already reported because of the vaccine.

Not if: beaches and parks are closed at the whim of whoever fancies exercising authority, not if bars and restaurants are closed, or again likely to be closed at short notice, and not if there is the faintest whiff of quarantine in any shape or form, or the requirement to purchase "special insurance" or any other special provisions from selected companies!

 

 

Basically these people are completely out of touch with reality.
When these happy numbers fail to materialize and the public grasps that these people are spewing happy talk and not reality, there's going to be social upheaval especially if parks, beaches, and places where people historically have gone to have fun are continually opened then closed of the whim of a bureaucrat after a significant proportion of the population have had shots. The blame for continued economic devastation will be pointed right back at the government.  Make it extremely difficult for foreign tourist to enter Thailand than close entertainment venues and tourist attraction on a whim to force Thais to go and get a shot.  It's a recipe for an angry public demanding change.  Just what the government never wants.

I could only say very bad words to u guys about reading all this so better to shut up 

[DrMJA]

Yup, and yet another MuPpeT speaks out loud making  monetary prediction!  

[CLW]

Predictions like this are the result of Thai working culture where the best employees getting their head into the rectum of their superiors by creating fake numbers that their bosses would like to see. And of course no one is going to question them openly.

'Analytics?' More like reading tea leaves lol.

[Pattaya Spotter]

Sounds like they're guessing like everyone else; and don't really have a clue.

Who would have thought that simple Beegees melody would be so prophetic and could actually be a theme song.

 

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away

We only wish there that this medical stuff was the real green that everyone could enjoy. Even dimwit can't get that right.

I can't believe I fall to read this sheer utter nonsense. What a complete waste of 1 minute of my life.

But if 300K jabs are delivered each day the figure would be 400,000 tourists in 2021 and 10 million next year.

it's unbelievable how they come up with stupidity, they barely do 2-3 k a day and expect to jump to 300k a day.... to their credit, they did use that magic word IF

Thailand's vax rollout has been criticized for being slow so far.

I wouldn't say slow but more like extremely slow or non existent as the Czar and his cronies claimed to have everything under control and didn't prepare for it

Close everything for 4-5 month. Would not even bother with Phuket sandbox. Vaccinate everyone you can and then open up fully to all people. Any more than that and Thailand risks more economic doom and gloom.

Anything less than that will be doom and gloom

If? We have an old saying " if wishes were horses,beggers would ride" 

[khunPer]

The government's plan is however 300k daily, which might not be impossible, but that plan has already received some critical remarks by TV's expert-panel, so 500k might more likely be wishful thinking, according to the expert-panel's professional, and extremely qualified, opinion...????

[Thomas J]

They should have saved their money on the projection and just used one of the online sites. Thinking that the number of vaccinated Thais is a causal factor in tourist travel to Thailand is just nutty.  It ignores all of the important factors such as availability and cost of flights.  The world situation as it relates to Covid infections.  The exchange rate of the baht.  Most importantly the continued requirement that incoming tourists have to sit in quarantine before beginning their holiday in Thailand.

[Destiny1990]

Despite TAT employees are working from home it doesn’t stop them from making Amazing predictions.

[cyril sneer]

might be more believable if tourism wasn't already going downhill before covid started

Why not?

3000 or 300,000 a day.

Same same but different.

It's just a few zeros more and zero is zero, isn't it?

I think their logic is that if they make enough guesses, there's more chance that one of them will be right.

Ou my, these people really amaze me again and again. The reality and common sense are not the values of these people.

I somehow suspect this figure will not be reached.

If is a mighty big word, and I notice it said Thai's will be vaccinate at 500k a day , so where does that leave us? 

[thasoss]

government figures like these are for domestic consumption to ensure a sense of optimism for the beleaguered tourist sector,they bear no sense of reality.
