While popular South Asian destinations like Bali are shutting the door on international tourism until 2021, Thailand may represent some hope. The country is hoping to allow foreign tourists to enter the country in October, through a program called “Safe and Sealed,” which will allow tourism in designated areas.
According to Thailand’s Minister of Tourism Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, “I have asked the prime minister for approval to set October 1 as the date to allow (inbound) tourists to enter. I also have requested to use Phuket as a pilot model … and have received approval from the Center for Economic Situation Administration.”
