The tourism authority plans to propose measures to the cabinetThe TAT is planning new tourism stimulus to boost tourism amid Middle East conflict. To mitigate the tourism impact from the Middle East conflict, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) plans to propose to the cabinet a stimulus measure for the short-haul and domestic markets, as well as setting up a "war room" in collaboration with private operators. The TAT and private operators held a meeting on Friday to assess the tourism impact of the war in Iran, with plans to establish a tourism war room in the future. She said budget remains from its previous "Summer Blast China & Overseas" scheme, which subsidised charter flights from China since last year. The TAT plans to revise this scheme to cover long-haul markets, as there is still demand for direct travel to Thailand.
