Government outlines support schemes for ailing tourism sector
The tourism ministry outlined assistance schemes for tourism-related businesses on Tuesday, as the tourism minister said we were going to ask for Covid-19 vaccines to be rolled out to tourism workers to boost the shattered sector.
The proposals include a salary co-payment programme, soft loans, and reduced utility rates for business owners exposed to the business downturn, said Tourism Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn after a conference with five other ministers.
