Thailand will end mandatory quarantine for fully-vaccinated tourists travelling by air from countries deemed 'low risk' from November 1. Mandatory quarantine requirement will end for at least 27 countries including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, China and the United States. The country has been recording more than 10,000 positive infections daily since July 2021.
The Thai baht rallied the most since August as an easing of travel requirements for vaccinated visitors brightened the outlook for the tourist-reliant economy. Thailand is pushing ahead with a "living with Covid" strategy after foreign tourist arrivals plunged to 70,000 in the first eight months of this year.
Thailand will look to impose a tourism fee next year, intended to subsidize tourism-related projects. By introducing a fee for all international visitors of 500 baht (around £11/$15), the Thai government wants to move away from cheap resort tourism and invest in more environmentally sound options. Tourism operators have raised concerns about the 500 baht fee to be collected from foreign tourists next year. There should be transparency about how and where the funds will be used to improve the industry. Analysts said that although foreign arrivals may not increase quickly, domestic activity would be boosted.
