Many other tourist operators are also shutting down in the wake of the virus outbreak. Some 11 million Chinese visited Thailand last year out of the total tourist arrivals of 39.8 million. Thai Immigration says more than 800,000 left Thailand as of Feb 2 and over 1,300 Chinese nationals from Wuhan remain in the kingdom. Tourist operators are not the only ones bearing the brunt of the dearth of Chinese tourists. On Tuesday, the Thai Cabinet approved a series of temporary assistance measures for affected businesses but some tourist operators dismissed them as "too little, too late".
