Elementary welcomed its first group of Test & Go travellers coming into the island province by sea and tourism officials say extra guests travelling on cruise ships and yachts shall be entering under the quarantine exemption scheme.
On March 1, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration eased travel restrictions, allowing Test & Go travellers to enter Thailand by land and sea, not just air. Under the entry scheme, travellers should undergo an RT-PCR Covid-19 on arrival. Those travelling by air should keep at an approved resort or resort for a night while they wait for their outcomes whereas these travelling by sea should isolate on the yacht or cruise ship.
Yesterday, Phuket provincial authorities and relevant departments welcomed the primary group of vacationers who travelled from Singapore by the Malaysian yacht named “The Maggie.” The ship had docked at Ao Por Grand Marina, which was developed to be a so-called “smart pier” equipped with auto gates, CCTV with temperature detector, and passport scanner.
The Director of Phuket’s TAT, Nanthasiri Ronnasiri, office shared that tourists from yachts and cruise ships are a goal market as they have a high spending potential. She added that most teams came from European and Mediterranean international locations, and some came from neighbouring international locations.
Nanthasiri shared that Phuket was a destination for yachts and cruise ships because the province has more than 30 state and personal piers and a deepwater port. She revealed that 91 ships with 323 passengers visited Phuket in 2021, and 27 ships with ninety two passengers visited from January to March of this 12 months. Aside from that, there could be extra cruises requested to journey to Thailand under the Test & Go programme.
