Thai travel association sees 8 million tourists in 2021

ATTA says the tourism industry needs a 3-month roadmap to plan for the country’s reopening.
If the government continues to insist on 14-day quarantines and doesn’t reopen the country by June, however, those numbers would be slashed in half.
Even if the country reopens soon, it will take 3 years for Thailand’s tourism industry to recover to 2019.
The Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) President Vichit Prakobgosol has forecast that 200,000-300,000 tourists would arrive in June, increasing to 500,000 in July, to 1.5 million in October, to 2.5 million in December as vaccinated tourists go aboard for the first time in 2 years.

The Bank of Thailand and the Finance Ministry have jointly formulated a plan to help these businesses, centred on the idea that the financial burden of principal and interest repayment can be halted.
This is done by transferring or settling collateral assets with financial institutions, which are the creditors. These assets could be rented by business operators, who make a transfer or settlement of collateral assets, with the option of a buy-back contract once operators have overcome the crisis.
As several countries have jump-started inoculation against Covid-19, hopes of re-energising the bruised travel industry are growing in tandem with millions of doses produced by pharmaceutical companies for global distribution.
