Time for tourism policy rethinkLast Wednesday, residents of dark-red zone provinces made a dash to restaurants and shopping malls after lockdown restrictions were eased. While learning to live with the virus is important, equally as important is the need to resume tourism in some format. If Thailand is serious about living with Covid-19, it needs to overhaul its international tourism strategy to reflect that change. Mexico is a good example of a country that has seen tourism numbers surge over the summer. A centralised policy needs to be established with attractive entry options for the entire country rather than half-baked measures for "safe" tourism zones.
