Thanakorn 先生表示，政府11月1日全面開放的決定是在普吉島沙盒計劃取得成功之後做出的，該計劃自 7 月推出以來，在過去三個月中已獲得了 23.3 億泰銖的收入。
Mr Thanakorn said the government’s decision followed the success of the Phuket Sandbox scheme, which has injected 2.33 billion baht into the economy over the past three months since its launch in July.
截至週四，已有 43,026 名遊客參觀了這個度假島嶼。7 月至 2 月的酒店預訂總數現在達到 779,502 晚。參觀者的前五名分別是美國、以色列、英國、德國和法國。
As of Thursday, 43,026 tourists had visited the resort island. Hotel bookings for stays from July until February now total 779,502 nights. The top five nationalities of the visitors were American, Israeli, British, German and French.
Samui Plus 計劃和普吉島沙箱的 7+7 擴充套件吸引了 1,069 名遊客。
The Samui Plus programme and the 7+7 extension to the Phuket sandbox attracted 1,069 visitors.
政府預計明年的旅遊收入將達到 1.5 萬億泰銖。其中近一半，即約 6000 億泰銖，將來自 1500 萬外國遊客。預計國內旅遊市場將再增加 8000 億泰銖。
The government projects 1.5 trillion baht in tourist revenue next year. Almost half of it, or around 600 billion baht, would come from 15 million foreign tourists. The domestic travel market is forecast to add another 800 billion baht.
這些預測是 2019 年 Covid 前收入的一半，當時旅遊收入總計 3.4 萬億泰銖，外國遊客近 4000 萬人次。
The forecasts represent half the amount earned in pre-Covid 2019, when tourism revenue totalled 3.4 trillion baht and foreign arrivals were almost 40 million.
“在普吉島沙箱下，沒有關於外國遊客和泰國人之間傳播的報道。因此，泰國人應該充滿信心並與我們一起改變泰國旅遊業，”Thanakorn 先生說。
“Under the Phuket sandbox, there have been no reports of transmissions between foreign visitors and Thais. Thais should therefore be confident and join us in transforming Thai tourism,” Mr Thanakorn said.
沒有海外遊客，即使十一開放，還是沒有人氣
微評論：選舉，民生，試點成功，這是泰國全面開放的原因。
