PM puts focus on tourism
The government agencies involved in the Phuket reopening do not appear to be ready for the reopening yet while there are only 28 days left until its launch, said Bhummikitti Raktaengam, president of the Phuket Tourist Association, on Thursday.
"The problem is we have been asked a lot lately by interested parties in other countries as to what the exact conditions of this tourism programme are. But we cannot really answer these questions even though there are just 28 days left," he said.
If things are still left so unclear, the Phuket sandbox won't likely happen as planned," he said.
Despite the call by Phuket's tourism business operators for a waiver of quarantine for tourists who visit Phuket after having already been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, the government first said the quarantine period would be lowered to seven days. However, it later switched back to 14 days, he said.
