A group of leading tour operators and hoteliers in Thailand has launched a campaign to reopen the country on July 1, 2021.⁣

 

⁣

They say vaccines are a game changer that allow for the reopening of the country and for quarantine requirements to be dropped.⁣

⁣

Launched on March 2, the #OpenThailandSafely campaign is the initiative of leading Bangkok-based private sector travel companies.⁣

⁣

The petition is open to anyone in Thailand or around the world at www.OpenThailandSafely.org .So far, there are 21 signatories to the campaign’s online letter, entitled ‘A call to reopen Thailand’.⁣

⁣

A resumption of tourism on that date means international travelers have enough time to make plans and bookings, and it also allows airlines, hotels, tour operators and others to start marketing and sales and get ready for tourism operations to resume.⁣

⁣

If the borders do reopen on July 1, the campaigners expect that Thailand will take at least a year, probably longer, to return to the large numbers of international visitors that it enjoyed before the Covid-19 crisis.⁣

⁣

To ensure the safe reopening of Thailand, the petition argues that “international tourists can be asked to satisfy any safeguards the Thai Government may require. This may, for example, include showing officially recognized proof of a Covid-19 vaccination from their home country, purchasing health insurance, showing evidence of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of departure, and so on.”⁣
