Thailand welcomes foreign tourists from next week

Thailand welcomes allowing in foreign tourists.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand confirmed that the Special Tourist Visa (STV) scheme will proceed as planned.

The government launched the STV scheme as part of measures to revive the country’s economy, which is heavily reliant on tourism and exports.

Thailand suspended international flights in April to curb the spread of the coronavirus. The country has reported 3,575 infections so far, including 59 deaths and 3,384 recoveries.

“Despite the delay, the first group of tourists from China arrives in Phuket within this month,” said Yutthasak Supasorn, head of the Tai tourism authority.

Some 120 tourists arrived in Thailand on a flight from China’s Guangzhou city on Oct. 8.
