The private sector in three Andaman provinces submitted a petition to the government, calling for a revision of the visa policy for Indian tourists, as Thailand could face potential losses of 8 billion baht if wedding groups shift to other destinations during the upcoming high season.
The petition was backed by 13 organisations, including the chambers of commerce, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Tourism Council, and hotel associations in Phuket, Phangnga and Krabi. The letter was received by the Tourism and Sports Minister last week.
