Airlines Association of Thailand seeks visa waiver for global travellersForeign tourists arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport during the first day of the country's reopening campaign on Nov 1, 2021. (Reuters photo)The Airlines Association of Thailand (AAT) is urging the government to consider implementing a visa waiver for international travellers to attract more demand as global competition is getting intense. Visa exemption is a measure that will help increase the number of international tourists next year to the goal of 10 million. Speaking at the "Thai Aviation Industry Conference 2021: flying to the new era of Thai aviation" seminar, Mr Puttipong said Thailand's aviation industry will return to 20-30% of the pre-Covid level despite the Nov 1 reopening. However, they were not adequate to shore up business until Thai Airways submits its rehabilitation plan.
