Tourism Crisis Management Office attentive to developments in Thailand

According to the Tourism Crisis Management Office, since airports in Thailand are functioning normally, the Office has not activated emergency procedures, but continues to maintain a close watch on the events unfolding so as to respond immediately to any necessity. On the declaration of an emergency state in Bangkok, Thailand, the Tourism Crisis Management Office notes that preliminary information from the travel industry indicates that currently there are approximately 200 Macau residents in 6 tour groups in Thailand. Since airports in Thailand are functioning normally, and the Office does not assess immediate danger to tourists, emergency procedures would not need to be activated at this stage. As for independent travelers, due to the diverse traveling patterns, the Office is not able to estimate the number of Macau residents traveling as FITs in Thailand. However, up to the present moment, the Office has not received any requests for assistance. The Tourism Crisis Management Office would like to alert all residents that in case any assistance is needed, they can call the 24-hour Tourism Hotline 853-28333000. The Tourism Crisis Management Office will continue to be attentive to developments in Thailand, and to provide immediate response accordingly.
