The latest news: 3000 hotels in Phuket, Thailand are closed for entry into Thailand.

Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the global tourism industry has been severely hit. Tourism is an important economy in Thailand. Now the epidemic has not ended for a long time, and the local tourism industry is also very bleak. In Phuket, once the second most popular tourist destination in Thailand, 3,000 hotels have been closed. Let's take a look at the details and latest news of inbound tourism in Thailand.

3,000 hotels in Phuket, Thailand closed. This famous tourist resort island suffered from COVID-19 epidemic, and there is almost no sign of rapid recovery in 2020 10. Local tycoon Preechawut

Keesin has five nightclubs and about 600 hotel rooms. He said that now 3,000 hotels on the island are basically closed, and the main town of Badong has become a "ghost town".

So far, there are about 3,600 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Thailand, and only a few dozen people have died, which is relatively less affected by COVID-19.

However, the Thai government has concentrated on fighting the economic impact of the virus. It is estimated that the country's economy will shrink by 7% to 9% this year, and tens of millions of people will lose their jobs.

The latest news of Thailand's inbound tourism in Phuket was originally scheduled to "cautiously" welcome the first batch of foreign tourists in Thailand in April this year, but it has been postponed by the government. The two-week compulsory quarantine regulations and the cost of thousands of dollars per person during the quarantine period make overseas tourists discouraged.

Thailand will reopen the entry of international tourists! Thailand's Ministry of Tourism recently announced that it will reopen foreign tourists on June 1 day, but strict epidemic prevention measures will be implemented.

At present, Thailand has not announced which countries will welcome tourists, but it may be a neighboring country with good epidemic prevention or a country with important social and economic dependence on Thailand.

This is the first time that ordinary passengers have restarted since Thailand blocked the border in March. According to the statistics of the World Bank, the annual contribution of tourism to Thailand's GDP is 15%, so tourism is almost zero, which has a great impact on Thailand. Thailand's Ministry of Finance predicts that GDP will shrink by 8.5% this year, the biggest decline in history.
