Thailand's interior ministry gives unlicensed hotels a reason to go legit
Skift Take
Thai industry officials think that lighter regulations will cause fewer hoteliers to cheat and keep their properties off the tax rolls. They've also got their fingers crossed that this move will help bring up nightly rates.
The honeymoon period for non-licensed hotels is going to end as the Interior Ministry will issue a new rule to regulate them this October, says the Thai Hotels Association (THA).
The new ministerial regulation will have two main articles. One article will state small hotels with no more than 80 rooms can be registered as legal hotels even if they do not fully comply with hotels' strict building requirements.
