Presently, the political turmoil in Thailand has also impacted to the tourism sector in the sub-Mekong region. Since Thailand is a gateway to the countries in the region.
“On this issue, we should seek ways to address this problem by focusing on advisements, promoting tourist and linking with Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Singapore instead of Thailand,” he advised.
In addition, the National Tourist Administration should cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security to study the possibility of visa exemption for tourists of our target markets.
