MYANMAR BORDERS PUTS HOLD ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS UNTIL POSSIBLY OCTOBER 2020

Myanmar’s airports are unlikely to re- open for international commercial flights possibly until October 2020, according to the vice-president of Myanmar’s National Tourism Development Central Committee. However, there’s no guarantee that if international flights resume that there’ll be any takers other than repatriation flights. As stated by Myanmar’s government, when commercial flights reopen it will be restricted to routes serving only neighboring cities in the ASEAN region and then other countries across Asia afterward. As for plans of “travel bubbles”, second and third wave infections have put off those plans.

A PLACE TO RELAX DURING STRESSFUL TIMES

TOURISM STIMULUS PACKAGE GIVEN & SOME ROOM RATES RISE SOON AFTER

Recently, the “We Travel Together” stimulus package launched in Thailand to help promote more domestic tourism especially for this next 4 day holiday weekend coming up. It is estimated that more than 3.5 million people have registered for this program online, which in Thai is known as Rao Tiew Duay Kan (We Travel Together). However, about 200,000 applications haven’t been processed properly and those people were asked to go through the process once again.
Please note, participants must be Thai nationals with a valid ID card and also must be aged 18 or above upon registering. In addition, they must choose to travel, eat, and stay in a province that is different than the one they are registered as living in. Lastly, they must have a smartphone to download the Pao Tang application. The government subsidy is 40% discounts on normal room rates at hotels and is limited to 3000 baht per night for up to 5 nights. Also, 40% of plane ticket prices will be refunded by the government, but no more than 1000 baht per seat and is limited to 2 million seats. The refund will be reissued by the government on the 15th and the 30th of the month.
Finally, please be aware that there already has been some price gouging and hotels inflating prices upon the stimulus package being given. The hotels have been warned about the consequences of price gouging, which would be those hotels being delisted from the campaign. With that said, it is good to be aware of this if you plan to participate in this program for the upcoming holiday weekend.
