Vaccine tourism set to spike
Outbound tour operators expect increasing demand for vaccine tourism in the fourth quarter because of the delay in procurement of high-quality vaccines in Thailand.
Suthiphong Pheunphiphop, president of the Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA), said even if local travellers are able to take outbound trips in the fourth quarter, which would be the best-case scenario, the number might be fewer than 10,000 people as slow vaccine rollouts in many countries are considered to be an obstacle.
