Thailand Tourism Shake-Up: New Safety Focus After Quake
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post Thailand is revamping its tourism strategy in the wake of a recent earthquake, aiming to restore confidence and address the dipping Chinese tourist market. A fresh Tourism Risk and Crisis Management team is set to be established, involving various organisations like the Interior Ministry and the Department of Land Transport, as reported by Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong. Key initiatives include hotel safety checks, along with plans to engage Chinese media influencers to reassure potential tourists about Thailand's safety. The recent quake in Myanmar and Thailand has sparked concerns among tourists, leading to a notable decrease in bookings. Chinese tourists, previously numbering 11 million in 2019, are particularly wary and numbers are predicted to only hit about 7 million this year. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is now taking specific actions to counter these concerns, such as issuing safety certificates for hotels and collaborating with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. To further support the tourism sector, especially with Songkran festivities approaching, the Tourist Police are being urged to boost safety measures and communication with tourists. The ministry is also recommending tourists download the Tourist Police app for instant alerts on any emergencies. Meanwhile, hoteliers and airlines are feeling the pinch, with the latter reporting a drastic 40-60% drop in bookings just days after the quake, most notably from China. The Thai Hotels Association is advocating for a swift roll-out of the domestic co-payment tourism scheme to stimulate local tourism. With hotel occupancy rates dipping to an average of 60% for April, the industry is clearly seeking immediate solutions to the ongoing challenges. The Ministry is optimistic that their proactive measures will stabilize the situation and attract more visitors to Thailand, famed for its rich culture and hospitality.

By the way. Tesla's FSD is only a level 2 system. Tesla’s autonomous technology sees changes in China Stricter oversight from China’s government has forced Tesla to change the name of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, which isn’t actually fully autonomous. In China, FSD, which operates at a Level 2 out of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 5 self-driving levels, will now be marketed under “Intelligent Assisted Driving” instead of its previous “FSD Intelligent Assisted Driving” label. https://autos.yahoo.com/tesla-removes-fsd-name-autonomous-120000678.html Here are 9 "nobody else's" already testing level 3 autonomous driving sytems BEIJING, June 4 (Reuters) - China has granted approval to a first group of nine automakers to carry out tests on vehicles with advanced autonomous driving technologies on public roads, as part of a plan to accelerate adoption of self-driving cars.
