(Photo by Nutthawat Wicheanbut)Thailand will have to deal with new coronavirus cases when it reopens to international tourists, says the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). The country can minimise the impact and avoid a high level of unemployment with risk management, the TAT said. If we keep delaying their entry, around 2.5 million jobs out of 4 million will be at risk," said TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn. To reopen the country to tourists, the government should implement a careful plan and improve communications to avoid local opposition, said Mr Yuthasak. The current plan is to open the country to international tourists with a limited number of arrivals and locations.
