Tourism returns to the Andaman Sea islands

[snoop1130]

 

Crystal clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, corals and rich marine life have become the charms of most islands in the Andaman Sea, after they were closed to tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019.

 

Visitors are now returning to these islands in droves, especially those off Thailand’s southern province of Krabi, after several were reopened to controlled visits, with limitations being imposed to protect the environment and ecological system.

 

Teekawut Sriburin, chief of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, said that it is necessary for some protective measures to be retained, including limits on the number of visitors each day.

Some sense at last instead of the previous free--for-all.
