People register for the tourism stimulus scheme on smartphones Wednesday. Major provinces are expected to benefit the most from the stimulus. The Tourism and Sports Ministry aims to use the second phase of tourism stimulus to boost second-tier provinces and local economies by adding more subsidies for travellers who want to venture off the beaten track. The second phase should make more hotel rooms, local homestays and home lodges accessible in less-popular provinces and communities, said Mr Phiphat. He said the ministry also wants to stimulate more domestic tourism during weekdays in the second phase.
