TAT: New infections weigh on trips
The Covid-19 infections that spread from the seafood market in Samut Sakhon are likely to ruin tourism sentiment, hobbling domestic trips to 95 million this year, says the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said if there were no cases in Samut Sakhon, domestic trips would have hit 100 million trips. With the wider outbreak, Thailand may get close to only 500 billion baht from the domestic market this year.
