The Thai government has approved more measures to trigger greater domestic tourism spend in a bid to lift the struggling travel and tourism sector that has been beset with losses from the absence of global travel.
According to Reuters, the enhanced package will include a 40 per cent discount on 10 hotel nights for each traveller, up from five nights offered in an earlier stimulus scheme, while a subsidy on flights will double to 2,000 baht (US$63.50).
The cabinet has also approved maintaining the valued-added tax at seven per cent for another year to September 2021, finance minister Predee Daochai said in a statement.
