Phuket, Thailand, June 14, 2021 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) recently presented the Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) Plus Certificate to more than 300 tourism businesses in Phuket, as the island is preparing to welcome back fully vaccinated visitors under the \u2018Phuket Sandbox\u2019 model from 1 July, 2021.<\/p>\n

The presentation of the SHA Plus logo by Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaiboon, TAT Deputy Governor of Tourism Products and Business, was held on 12 June, 2021, in the presence of Phuket Governor Mr. Narong Woonchiew and other local dignitaries.<\/p>\n

Ms. Thapanee said \u201cThe \u2018SHA Plus\u2019 standard symbolises Phuket\u2019s readiness to reopen the island, which local stakeholders have worked together to create as part of the pilot scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u2018SHA\u2019 logo certifies that venues and businesses have public health measures in place for COVID-19, while the \u2018Plus\u2019 sign confirms that more than 70% of employees in the organisation are fully vaccinated under the \u2018Phuket Must Win\u2019 vaccination programme.<\/p>\n

Under the \u2018Phuket Sandbox\u2019 model, foreign visitors who arrive from 1 July, 2021, onwards will be required to book hotels, which are \u2018SHA Plus\u2019 certified for their first 14 days before being able to leave the province to other destinations in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are 1,389 venues and businesses across Phuket that have received the Amazing Thailand SHA certificate, and of these, more than 300 are SHA Plus-certified. The number is continuing to rise as all SHA-certified businesses in Phuket, where at least 70% of staff are inoculated, are encouraged to register for the \u2018SHA Plus\u2019 Certificate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, TAT together with the Phuket Tourist Association, Thai Hotels Association \u2013 Southern Chapter, and the Southern Digital Economy Promotion Agency \u2013 Northern Southern Region are currently developing a \u2018SHA Plus Booking Authentication System\u2019 (SHABA) to be used as a confirmation mechanism for visitors joining the \u2018Phuket Sandbox\u2019, who have booked \u2018SHA Plus\u2019 hotels.<\/p>\n

Under the \u2018Phuket Sandbox\u2019 conditions, visitors will be able to book their accommodation via OTA\u2019s, travel agencies or directly to the \u2018SHA Plus\u2019 hotels under the conditions of the \u2018Phuket Sandbox\u2019. Hotel Reservation teams will be required to enter their guests\u2019 bookings into the \u2018SHABA\u2019 platform, which will generate an official confirmation number and QR code.<\/p>\n
