Impact on tourism Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Revealed after inspecting Suvarnabhumi Airport and the Immigration Office. Without prior notice, everyone knew that in early March there would be an announcement to upgrade airports throughout the country. And it's a big plan. The immigration system and various procedures at the airport are important. He didn't want to just listen to the report. But I want to see it with my own eyes. Please don't use the word problem. But use it as an opportunity. 'There are opportunities to make it better in many dimensions, such as system work, which many IT companies come in to do. but not connected Regarding the stability of the backup system The issue of the Immigration Police (Immigration) being insufficient which I went to the resting area of ??the immigration officials change of shifts Living conditions are not very good. Ordered to improve Including the problem of inbound and outbound passengers. Today is an opportunity to listen to information. to improve and write in a large template who will make a further statement,' the Prime Minister said. As for the problem of the broken immigration system, the Prime Minister said that it is another problem that must be integrated. That broken system It's a matter of technicality. Bad backup system When there are a lot of people coming in, the system slows down. Normally, the KPI per person coming in is 45 seconds, but when there are a lot of people coming in, every station is used up. It takes more than a minute. make it even slower It is considered a big problem. Today there will be a meeting in the afternoon. I will write a template for how to fix it. It is expected that it will take approximately 12 months for all issues to be resolved. including police issues Immigration is not enoug h. To call the Immigration Police Commissioner to discuss this afternoon, we will have to request the Civil Service Office (OCSC) because it is a long-term problem that we want to solve within one go. When asked about the number of tourists that will come. Will there be another problem? The Prime Minister said that now the number of tourists is equivalent to before the Covid period. It must be managed by giving KPIs for tourists who have already arrived. You shouldn't wait more than 30 minutes for your passport to be stamped from the time you get in line. As for the problem of delayed baggage pickup I went to inquire as well. It's better now. But I'll try to make it better. Which must go to see the work on the conveyor system that was sent As for the problem of long delays in departing passengers, the Prime Minister said he had also gone to investigate. Found that there were very long lines of people waiting. Since checking the passport Luggage x-ray Insufficient check-in space Which has already been said a bout going out. I don't want to check too much, but there are 2 problems: Over Stay or overstaying with people who are guilty of leaving the country. Here, all IT systems must be linked. It must be checked and notified. It is considered a medium-term plan. which he has already given the policy as well If you don't have to check, it's a counter that has a stamp and then leave. It makes the time spent traveling out of the country more convenient. It's part of the journey. 'Because since people came to Thailand I want it to be comfortable. From the moment we got off the plane and arrived in the elephant's trunk. No need to take the bus to the airport. You don't have to wait more than 30 minutes when you arrive, pick up your bags and head out. As for the taxi system that comes in, it must be appropriate and correct. As for the return trip, I don't want it to take more than 2 hours because the last time I inquired it took almost 3 hours. This is a matter that requires sympathy for tourists as well. Instead of tak ing time to travel Spend more You have to waste time coming to the airport. This is therefore an opportunity to make tourism in Thailand better. Look at it as an opportunity,' the Prime Minister said. Source: Thai News Agency
