New normal, new measures.
Recently, many countries including Singapore announced the opening of their borders.
Thailand, which takes tourism as an important economic pillar, has also had to make a major decision.
Officially announced the "Opening of the Country."
At 20:30 in the evening on October 11, 2021, Thai Prime Minister Prayut delivered a televised speech stating that "from November 1, 2021, foreign tourists will be allowed to enter Thailand without isolation."
Inbound foreign tourists must be from countries with low epidemic risk, fully vaccinated with two doses of the new crown vaccine, and undergo RT-PCR new crown virus testing at the time of departure and arrival, and then can travel to various parts of Thailand as normal.
Prayut said that it has ordered the New Crown Epidemic Management Center and the Ministry of Health to discuss the list of countries with low epidemic risk. Initially, at least 10 countries will be drawn up, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, China, Singapore, etc., and the follow-up will be in December and next year. In August, it was discussed to increase the list of low-risk countries.
For Thailand, from December 1 this year, drinking in stores will be allowed, and entertainment venues will be allowed to resume business under the premise of adherence to hygiene prevention and control measures, in order to stimulate tourism and revitalize the entertainment service industry.
Thailand is currently one of the 10 countries with the fastest vaccination rate in the world. The vaccination rate in May was 80,000 doses per day, while the current vaccination rate has reached 700,000 doses per day, or even more than 1 million doses per day. sky.
Prayut said that Thailand needs to firmly grasp the golden period at the end of the year, because after two consecutive years of epidemic, if the golden opportunity of tourism is allowed to drain, the Thai economy may not be able to bear it.
Tourism is vital to Thailand’s economy. Before the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, tourism income could account for 20% of Thailand's national income. After the outbreak, due to strict travel restrictions, tourists from home and abroad in Thailand dropped to almost zero, which further aggravated Thailand's economic downturn and plunged the Thai economy into a low for more than 20 years.
Under the new normal, Thailand, which intends to promote economic recovery by stimulating investment in this "horse carriage", has given many favorable policies to continuously increase the confidence of overseas investors to invest in Thailand.
Investors can seize this rare opportunity to allocate assets in Thailand and lay out this hot spot for investment in Southeast Asia.
