Readers’ Poll: Would an ‘Asean Visa’ help Phuket?

PHUKET: For years, Asean members have been working to develop a single “Asean visa” that would allow free travel within the bloc. Such a visa would closely follow the highly-praised “Schengen visa”, which allows free travel throughout 15 European countries.

Last month, former tourism minister Weerasak Kowsurat called for more support for the project, saying it would boost tourism within Asia, and Thailand in particular.

Would an Asean single visa benefit tourism to Phuket? Or would it draw tourists away from our holiday island?
