Shift from tourism
Oped, Postbag, Published on 21/04/2021
» I commend Nareerat Wiriyapong for her April 19 article, "Tourism revival in doubt again" which presented a clear-eyed, factual analysis. My only criticism is that an earnest revival is but probably impossible. As roughly 60% of Thailand's tourists came from the West, Thailand can expect little recovery in Western tourists, because of the rise of unemployment, fear of health safety as well as mounting bankruptcies. Even more, few Western tourists are likely to be interested in travelling in an era of face mask wearing, social distancing, field hospitals, ever-changing policies and draconian penalties related to Covid-19 related measures as well as unpredictable lockdown.
