Thailand’s Tourism Authority aims to attract 10 million foreign tourists in 2022, with India as a leading focus

[BadSpottedDog]

Given that India doesn't even require unvaccinated people to quarantine, and don't insist on ridiculous amount of paperwork from anyone, I think they will choose other countries to spend their time in. Here are their requirements for unvaccinated.

Thailand's tourism was taking a hit before covid. 

There was no hit pre-covid. I remember pre-covid, it was going up year over year till 2019 when it reached 39 million.

Aussies and indians????

At least you could have a decent ODI in Bangkok. That would get some numbers up.

It will be nice to have them back, I have missed the Indians and the Chinese (when are they coming back?). Throw in some Russian gangsters and we will back to the good old days.

Do Indians know how much Thais despise them?

 

Thais don't like the Chinese horde much either,  but it hasn't stopped the women from marrying both cultures.

I constantly hear that Thai women don't like black or indian men but see them often running around with those men.

Probably no other choice.

Some don't due to circumstances but others actually enjoyed the darker variety

Bali bangs in a winner.

 

VIsa on Arrival reinstated from tomorrow along with no quarantine.

 

Tourism can return to Bali fully now.  Well done Indonesia.

 

No stupid applying for a pass (visa on arrival is available)

No mandatory hospital lock up for 10 days if you test positive on arrival (3 isolation days in your hotel if positive)

 

 

Visa on Arrival and Quarantine-Free Travel to Bali to Begin (indonesiaexpat.id)

Even then I don't think Thailand will get the desired numbers they desperately craved for.

 As mentioned before,  Thailand's tourism was taking a hit before covid.  It isn't a cheap destination as it once was. Perhaps the 2 week millionaires will continue??

yes exactly... cheaper and better countries to go to without all the hassles

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) aims to attract 10 million foreign tourists

I love these posts.  I am not sure if the TAT really quotes them or they are reported to just to get a reaction from people.  It seems each week sometimes more than once a week I see a similar headline with a new number of tourists to be attracted and a new group of people whether that is Chinese, Russian, Indian etc to be targeted.  If they really are making these predictions, I suspect they are using the following wheel to assist them in coming up with the number of expected tourists.

The west have other issues to deal with now, stopping Putin from going over the top.

Thailand seem only concerned with themselves and their damned tourism.

As usual.
