The Samui Plus model is aiming to attract 2,000 travellers in the first month of reopening as it banks on Phuket s success in order to ease rules which currently require tourists to stay in alternative local quarantines (ALQ) for the first seven days. Besides the virus situation on our islands and the whole country, we re closely watching the situation in Phuket. If most inbound tourists to Phuket are free from Covid-19, we will propose more relaxations on Samui and two other islands in Surat Thani. Even though Phuket detected its first imported case on Wednesday, it won t affect our plan, said Ratchaporn Poolsawadee, president of the Tourism Association of Koh Samui.
