Ministry of Tourism warns of closure of overcrowded resorts and tourist destinations

[geovalin]

The Ministry of Tourism issued a circular to control the flow of tourists during the upcoming Chinese and Vietnamese New Year, as the country continues to implement measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, especially the Omicron variant. The circular was issued on January 28 and in the circular the Ministry ordered the following measure: Preventive measures set by the Royal Government must be strictly implemented.

 

Businesses must strengthen the implementation of tourism safety rules and standard operating standards (SOP) procedures in accordance with the new normalization route introduced by the Ministry of Tourism on tourism-based businesses to maintain business stability and ensure the safety of national and international tourists.

 

Strengthen the management of resorts and tourist destinations. In case of overcrowding, the Department of Tourism must immediately report to the Ministry of Tourism and the Capital-Provincial Administration to take measures to temporarily suspend the activities of those resorts and tourist destinations.

What is that supposed to tell anyone?  They invite larger numbers by the resumption of Test and (sort of ) Go, then warn of 'closures'  (closures of what?) if invited numbers do in fact arrive! More idiocy labelled as policy.

 

The Chinese hordes are not here nor are they likely to be for a year at least, so what induces this latest bout of panic before the event?

 

Either open or close ; most potential visitors  doubtless care little about Thailand at this point, but for Heaven's sake be consistent and stop panicking and sending out conflicting messages, and this idiotic resort to abrupt policy changes.

Guess you missed the fact that this is posted in the Cambodia forum.

Guess I did. 

 

But then state mandated daftness is hardly unique to the Cambodians in this region. I wasn't aware Cambodia was potentially getting those sorts of numbers.
