Thailand is open to tourists from all over the world. How is the local epidemic situation? I really don’t know how Thailand has survived these past few years.

Tourism can be said to be Thailand’s pillar industry. The annual revenue from Thailand’s tourism industry is about 1.93 trillion baht (364.4 billion yuan), accounting for about 11% of Thailand’s GDP, which is equivalent to the manufacturing industry in general countries. Industrial industry accounts for the proportion, what is this concept? Most countries will not suffer any damage if their tourism industry collapses, but if a country like Thailand loses its tourism industry, it can be said that it is completely over.

Thailand also has a large number of people engaged in tourism-related industries, including aviation, hotels, transportation, tour guides, and entertainers. There are also various small vendors on the streets that are not included in the statistics, and Tuk Tuk riders, that is, the legendary flexible employment personnel. The total number of these people is also very considerable.

Moreover, Thailand is also an important transit point for world travel. Many international routes have to transit in Bangkok. Aviation revenue is also an important economic source for Thailand. Nowadays, international flights have been significantly reduced, which has a huge impact on them. .

To be honest, I really don’t know how they survived.

I can’t even imagine how many people have lost their jobs, how many companies have gone bankrupt, and how many families have been broken up.

The same thing happened in Sri Lanka. This small country in the Indian Ocean is also experiencing what happened in Thailand.

Sri Lanka is also a tourist country, and the tourism industry accounts for a higher proportion of GDP than Thailand. Recently, due to severe inflation and international debt problems, President Gotabaya has declared that Sri Lanka will enter a state of national emergency from April 2. They are experiencing the most serious economic crisis since independence in 1948, and the exchange rate has collapsed. , severe inflation and explosive debt, Sri Lanka is currently on the verge of bankruptcy.

The country is going bankrupt. What is the concept?

The global epidemic is still fierce. Since Thailand has announced this policy, it means that the Thai economy has reached a critical moment and cannot survive without making changes.

An ordinary person will collapse after being quarantined at home for three months. Not to mention the mental and physical stress. Financial pressures such as mortgage and car loans can crush you, let alone a country.

Facing the epidemic now, we are really helpless, or it should end as soon as possible.
