TAT launches drive to restore tourism

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is implementing its "Visit Thailand Year 2022: Amazing New Chapters" campaign to help revive the country's tourism sector while playing a positive role in the overall economy.

TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said the campaign will focus on Thailand's soft power assets which include food, film, fashion, festivals, traditions, music, museums and technology.

"To achieve this, TAT has formulated a 'DASH' model to manoeuvre the entire organisation towards the single goal of transforming the tourism sector," Mr Yuthasak said.

D stands for "domestic travel", which TAT will emphasise to both tourists and tourism operators, he said.

A is for "accelerate demand" to stimulate qualitative demand by targeting high-income segments, delivering valuable experiences while focusing on safety.

S stands for "shape supply'' to elevate tourism ecosystems through quality and sustainability. This will be based on responsible tourism and digital tourism, resulting in sustainable income distribution, he said.

Lastly, H is for "healing the Thai economy" which puts a focus on strong and sustainable growth in the tourism sector as the country reopens.

"With the DASH model, TAT is placing greater emphasis on domestic tourism," Mr Yuthasak said.

"For international tourism, TAT is introducing its new 'Amazing Thailand Workplace Paradise' project, which aims to make Thailand the world's top destination for remote workers," he said.

The project is a response to the high growth of remote work due to the pandemic.

TAT expects Thailand's tourism industry to generate 1.28 trillion baht and attract up to 10 million international arrivals this year.

Some 656 billion baht is expected to come from the domestic market and 625 billion baht from the international market.

Domestic tourists spend an estimated 4,100 baht per person, compared to 62,580 baht per person on average for foreign tourists.

CCSA UPDATE Cutting through the 30 minutes of waffle today, the net result for the current local restrictions and Thailand Pass is.... no changes. People expecting a relaxation of some of the restrictions, or some modifications to simplify the Thailand Pass (especially the Test & Go program) will be disappointed. The Thaiger

First 10 days of February arrival figures for Thailand - Test & Go V2 "sluggish" | Thaiger

First 10 days of February arrival figures for Thailand – Test & Go V2 "sluggish"

So who is travelling to Thailand at the moment, and how many are coming through the turnstiles?

For the first 10 days of February, there was a total of 55,823 travellers entering Thailand. 23,036 travellers entered on the Test and Go program, another 27,667 through the Sandbox scheme and 5,120 arrived to do the Alternative Quarantine program at a qualified hotel. 1,832 of those arrivals have tested Covid positive… that's 3.3% of the total number of arrivals.

The Top 10 countries for arrivals are, in order…. Russia, Germany, UK, France, US, Australia, UAE, Singapore, Kazakhstan and Sweden.

The Test & Go program, also known as the Quarantine Exemption program (although you have a compulsory stay in a pre-paid SHA+ hotel on Day 1 and Day 5 of your arrival) was relaunched on February 1 when local tourism authorities expected a quick take up of the more popular of the three arrival schemes under the Thailand Pass brand.

On an average month, pre-Covid, there were 3.3 million arrivals (averaged out for the total year of 2019). That's around 110,000 per day. The 56,823 arrivals between February 1 – 10 represents around 5% of the traffic that would have travelled at this time, 3 years ago. Of course the Government and TAT expect the arrivals to pick up as the year progresses and, hopefully, as the Covid situation continues to wane around the world.

Reports of the next period in February will be telling, to see if the numbers continue to steadily grow or if the first 10 days was an initial surge of travellers trying to get back to Thailand. The TAT have foreshadowed that up to 5 million travellers could enter Thailand throughout 2022, but the numbers from the first 10 days of February will have to ramp up quickly, by a factor of 5 x or more, if the TAT's projections are to be met.

Much of the online chatter from the English-speaking community is complaining about the additional Day 5 'quarantine', which has to be pre-paid, along with the Day 1 SHA+ accommodation and 2 PCR tests. That, and the continuation of an official ban on bars and nightlife, although many of the country's hotspots are opening bars as 'restaurants' and serving alcohol until at least 11pm.
