Tourism operators in Betong and Hat Yai are banking on cross-border tourism from Malaysia to shore up the local economy, while encouraging a more seamless immigration process to facilitate the flow of tourists.
Tourism operators in Hat Yai are calling for additional support when it comes to registration for the Thailand Pass and bus services at the Malaysian border, particularly at the Sadao checkpoint, in order to bring back tourists.
SONGKHLA: At least 10,000 tourists from Malaysia and Singapore are expected each week in Hat Yai when Songkhla reopens to foreign tourists in December, say local tourism operators.
