Phuket welcomed its first group of Test & Go travellers coming into the island province by sea and tourism officials say extra visitors travelling on cruise ships and yachts will be getting into beneath the quarantine exemption scheme.
On March 1, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration eased journey restrictions, permitting Test & Go travellers to enter Thailand by land and sea, not simply air. Under the entry scheme, travellers must endure an RT-PCR Covid-19 on arrival. Those travelling by air should keep at an accredited lodge or resort for a night while they wait for their outcomes while these travelling by sea must isolate on the yacht or cruise ship.
Yesterday, Phuket provincial authorities and relevant departments welcomed the primary group of tourists who travelled from Singapore by the Malaysian yacht named “The Maggie.” Lost had docked at Ao Por Grand Marina, which was developed to be a so-called “smart pier” outfitted with auto gates, CCTV with temperature detector, and passport scanner.
The Director of Phuket’s TAT, Nanthasiri Ronnasiri, office shared that vacationers from yachts and cruise ships are a goal market as they have a high spending potential. She added that the majority groups came from European and Mediterranean nations, and a few got here from neighbouring countries.
Nanthasiri shared that Phuket was a destination for yachts and cruise ships as a outcome of the province has greater than 30 state and private piers and a deepwater port. She revealed that ninety one ships with 323 passengers visited Phuket in 2021, and 27 ships with 92 passengers visited from January to March of this year. Aside from that, there can be more cruises requested to travel to Thailand under the Test & Go programme.
