Workers who were left without a job during the pandemic are now hesitant to return to the industry. Over 1.45 million tourism jobs were lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s our pipeline of people? This is what will create success for the next generation. Thais no longer want to work in hotels, so our mission must be to innovate products and bring the best and brightest people back to the industry. We have to pay higher wages. Now is the time for Thailand&#8217;s hotels to change,&#8221; Barnett concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BANGKOK, 20 January 2023: Thailand Tourism Forum (TTF 2023) returned to Bangkok earlier this week for its 12th annual edition to debate the issues and inspire future concepts.
