The economic cabinet is scheduled to consider stimulus measures at an Oct 7 meeting to spur tourism during the remainder of the year.

Kobsak Pootrakool, deputy secretary-general for political affairs to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, said the measures include free re-entry visas for foreign tourists who visit neighbouring countries by land transport and value-added tax (VAT) reductions for Thai tour operators who operate services for inbound tourists.
