TAT projects 50% decrease in receipts during Songkran
A travel agency employee sits in front of his closed shop in Bangkok on Thursday. Thailand remains closed to international tourists because of Covid-19.
The new Covid-19 outbreak is expected to cut tourism receipts by half during the Songkran festival after many provinces have voluntarily imposed a 14-day quarantine, while dozens of events have been cancelled or postponed, says the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said a large number of infections originating from the Thong Lor cluster will impact tourism activities next week, leading to stricter travel regulations at major destinations and lower tourism confidence.
