Chinese tourists expect to resume their travels in April as new coronavirus infections subside, while Thai tourism officials aim to apply a safety and health administration program to help operators upgrade their ability to deal with the pandemic. Outbound tour operators in China have informed partners in Thailand that two provinces, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, have lifted travel restrictions but citizens are likely to venture out within their own provinces first, said Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). Mr. Yuthasak said operators in China expect most mainland residents to start taking domestic trips in April before resuming outbound trips later. The TAT and Public Health Ministry are implementing regulatory outlines to raise the cleaning and hygiene standards of tourism services such as attractions, hotels and restaurants. |
