Thailand weighs ‘business bubble’ plan in bid to boost economy


Somsak Rungsita: 'Allowing business travellers entry into Thailand in the current pandemic situation must depend on how it can help the Thai economy'.

BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): National Security Council (NSC) Secretary-General General Somsak Rungsita said on Wednesday (July 1) that the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration is now discussing accepting foreigners, both tourists (travel bubble) and business people (business bubble).

Although Thailand has started to allow entry to more foreigners, tourism under the travel bubble plan will not happen soon as many sectors needed to be prepared, especially while other countries are still facing rising number of Covid-19 cases.
