The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has revealed plans of reinstating a tourist visa fee waiver scheme for China, India, Russia and Chinese Taipei passport holders. This plan is in line with the effort to boost the inbound tourism and help local tour operators that were affected by the floods.

 

According to a report in TTG Asia, TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni confirmed that a proposal to reintroduce the tourist-friendly policy has already been tabled to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, along with a request for funding to help beleaguered Thai tourism operators, and to kick-start the Miracle Thailand campaign that was put on hold since the start of the floods in October. Svestasreni added that the currently running Amazing Thailand, Always Amazes You marketing campaign will continually be used as the country works on restoring tourist confidence.
