If the covid regime is softening for visitors, then it makes sense that it would also be softening for returning Chinese as well. So there is hope yet?????

I do not see where China is letting their folks leave the country yet from the main land. All the article says is that they are relaxing entry to China with only a negative PCR test needed. Or did I miss where the article said China is allowing the citizens of its country to travel outbound.

Because these Chinese package tour tourists required the least effort to take care of, were easy to rip off with overpriced attractions and food, and did not complain as they were used to worse in their own country. Those businesses that miss them should not have forgotten the (usually) higher spending farangs and other nationalities. Instead they saw an easy quick money spinner. It even turned out they were worse off as a lot of the profits were going into Chinese tour companies and back to China, rather than local Thai tourist usonesses.

Puccini Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 In China, people with Covid-19 are now allowed to go to work. It remains to be seen whether they are also allowed to travel abroad for a vacation. Quote China wants Covid patients to go to work. The public isn’t so sure Analysis by Jessie Yeung and Cheng Cheng, CNN Updated 2:34 AM EST, Wed December 21, 2022 Hong Kong (CNN) — Just weeks ago, catching Covid in China meant being taken to government quarantine for an indeterminate stay and your entire residential building being locked down, trapping neighbors in their homes for days or weeks. Now, as the country rapidly relaxes restrictions, millions of people have been told to keep going to work — even if they’re infected.

And they did not spend the money over many businesses, or the small local tourist places like restaurants, bars etc. Many preferred to eat cheap food from 7 11 back in their hotel room, and did not go to eat meals at local restaurants. Most also did not frequent bars, pubs or smaller entertainment places. Local people saw little of these tourists money. Instead the bulk of the profits went to a few large already wealthy companies, and many of those were Chinese owned! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Europeans are not that far behind at 461.478 billion Thai baht. They still bring in more money than the countries of Asean combined (323.780 billion thai baht)." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirring the pot! Didn't those Europeans travel to China and return? Didn't the very first case in Thailand reported in December 2021, returning from China as early cases in the New York, California early Feb 2020. Both known for high volume of Chinese and Business travel to China. Then you got all the recent lock down in China with their demonstration I wonder why with their first and great Sinovac. It had been reported believe it or not majority of Chinese haven't gotten the virus thus far short of herd immunity reason for their recent. Somehow I wouldn't trust anything from China, maybe the leaders said to themselves world want to criticize us OK let's give the people what they want no lock down, Get ready for round two? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
