Mr. Prin said demand at ASQ hotels has been decreasing since May, after Phuket and other provinces required a negative COVID-19 test result from unvaccinated visitors while they may re-evaluating their business models as the reopening plan are moving forward.
Alternative state quarantine (ASQ) hotels want to transform into hybrid facilities during the second half of this year, as the reopening plan under “Phuket sandbox” model starts to affect bookings.
ASQ-ALQ Club Thailand President Prin Pathanatham said demand at ASQ hotels has been decreasing since May, after Phuket and other provinces required a negative COVID-19 test result from unvaccinated visitors.
The average occupancy for ASQ hotels in May dropped to 30-35% from 45-50% in April, while most of them have hardly seen any advance bookings after June 15, because people are waiting for quarantine-free entry to Phuket.
