KRABI, May 12 (TNA) – The southern seaside province of
Krabi has laid out a plan to restore natural resources and reopen its tourist
sites after the end of COVID-19 pandemic.
The provincial administration held a meeting with the
private sector, tourism-related organizations and local public agencies on
Tuesday.
All marine attractions in Krabi, like all across Thailand,
have been closed due to COVID-19 since March.
Krabi Governor Kitibhodi Prawit said the discussion was
about the reassessment and rehabilitation of the tourist spots in preparation
for the post-COVID-19 tourism environment.
“New disease prevention and safety measures will be imposed
when the next tourist season begins later this year”, he said.
In the Gulf of Thailand, a team of divers conducted an
inspection at diving sites around Koh Tao Island. They spotted a large whale shark measured 15
meters in length.
Beaches and marine biological sites in Thailand have been
closed to tourists. There has been no
date set for lifting the closures. Some
popular seaside attractions such as those in Pattaya will remain closed, at
least, until the end of May. (TNA)
