(TAN): Thailand has topped the list of the world’s safest destinations to visit during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said in a statement, citing a study by Germany-based travel company Tourane.
The study found Thailand the world’s safest travel destination during the COVID-19 pandemic based on various criteria including the 14-day notification rate of new COVID-19 cases and deaths per the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), International Health Regulations score, population density of the country, hours of sunshine per day for outdoor activities, and flight connections with Germany.
Thailand recorded a low number of COVID-19 cases and was scored 85 for International Health Regulations. These coupled with moderate population density, at 135, and the hours of sunshine per day for outdoor activities, 6.6 hours, plus having the most number of direct flights with Germany have placed Thailand in the top spot.
Tourlane’s study was carried out on July 26.
Thailand’s international airports and borders remain closed to international tourists for now.
