Thailand : Buy Now, Stay Later
The Tourism Authority of Thailand has announced a multiphase reopening of Thailand to foreign tourists from 1 August 2020.
In doing so it has launched Buy Now, Stay Later: Thailand that enables travellers to plan and save money on future trips through the purchase of hotel bonds today that increase in value over time.
It is hoped that, in this way, travellers will feel empowered and encouraged to help support the country's hotel industry.
Many of the programme's partner properties are located in the provinces where reopening is slated to begin first.
These include geographically secluded regions of Phuket, Krabi and Surat Thani where health monitoring can be mcan be purchased at one of the participating hotels, at a rate of $100.
Once a booking is ready to be made (and after the 60+ day maturation) the hotel bond will be worth $150.
For travellers planning longer trips, the programme does not limit the number of bonds that can be purchased so buying five $100 bonds will be worth $750 when guests decide to book.
