According to the Financial Times<\/a>, Thai hotel groups are pressing the federal government to toss quarantine rules for overseas tourists who have been jabbed with the COVID-19 vaccination, in hopes to kickstart the immobilised sector.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times were informed by two main hotel groups of their support in scrapping the necessary 14-day quarantine for foreign guests who might show vaccination signs.<\/p>\n

William Heinecke, chairman of Thailand\u2019s largest listed hotel and hospitality group Minor International, said, \u201cwe should be very quickly allowing people who are safely vaccinated to travel without quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are tremendous numbers of people who won\u2019t come to Thailand or won\u2019t come to any country that has a quarantine, because it takes too much time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Tourism is Thailand\u2019s second-largest economic driver, but the country\u2019s borders have been closed to most overseas guests since March 2020, along with the imposition of strict testing and quarantine rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current quarantine restrictions are crippling our industry and having a massive impact on Thailand\u2019s economy,\u201d said Suphajee Suthumpun, chief government of Dusit International, a Bangkok-listed hotel group. \u201cWith foreign tourists accounting for around 70 percent of the total industry, and with tourism representing around 22 percent of GDP, it\u2019s clear that we need to open the borders to vaccinated travellers as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suthumpun mentioned that employees in Thailand\u2019s hospitality sector must be given priority in receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. \u201cThis would also protect locals and travellers alike, and limit the risk of infection,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has left Thailand\u2019s renowned destinations desolate, with subsidies for Thais\u2019 quarantine stays making up merely half of the sector\u2019s losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
