Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce points out that the government's policy of reducing electricity bills, reducing oil prices, and free visas for Chinese tourists. It's a straight-to-the-point policy. Especially the policy of free visa for Chinese tourists. This will cause Chinese tourists and Chinese investors to flood into Thailand during the 4th quarter of this year.
Mr. Sanan Angubolkul, Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Directors of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, revealed that the government's policy of reducing electricity costs, reducing oil prices, and free visas for Chinese tourists is a policy that is to the point. Because the policy of reducing electricity costs and reducing gas costs is equal to reducing the cost of living for consumers. As for the free visa policy for Chinese tourists If this can be done immediately, it will help stimulate the economy. Which I personally think Should be able to start from October 2023 to March 2024. This is because it is the tourist season in Thailand which will bring 5 million Chinese tourists back to visit our country within this year. After finding that in the first half of 2023, from January to June 2023, there were only 1.5 million Chinese tourists entering Thailand.
In addition, the policy is free visa for Chinese tourists. There will be Chinese investors. Many people traveled to Thailand during the 4th quarter of this year as well. The recent decrease in Chinese tourists is due to news being released about the insecurity of traveling in Thailand, which when examined will be found. It is a lawsuit against Chinese people residing in Thailand. We have to explain this matter to Chinese tourists.
Mr. Sanan also discussed the overview of the government's policy announcement that was just completed yesterday. The overall picture is considered ok. As for the digital currency, 10,000 baht, if it can actually be achieved, it will be another good policy to stimulate the economy
