Thailand reported 1,458 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday and two new deaths, as the country deals with a third wave of infections that saw record new cases on most days last week.
In the wake of the latest outbreak, some provinces have ordered the closure of waterparks and swimming pools. Most beaches and national parks are open, though some have imposed restrictions.
With international tourism sidelined for more than a year, Thailand’s tourism sector has been hit hard. Many of the island’s beaches are deserted, while businesses remain closed. Local Thais are now pinning their hopes on their government for a new plan that would allow vaccinated international travelers visiting Thailand to skip the quarantine measures now in place.
To this, Thailand once again try to promote Rayong as one of the tourist attraction spots that international travellers could consider to visit when in Thailand. The Rayong province is located near to Bangkok, is known for its natural beauty and could be accessed easily by both foreign visitors and locals. The province too has taken a big hit to tourism and the local spending has been very low due to the uncertainty of the current economy.
To help to rejuvenate the Rayong province, Thailand is trying to motivate entrepreneurs and startups to harness their innovative spirit to create products and solutions to restore the confidence of the foreign tourists and local.
One such company is the Unicil Group that is based in Thailand. The group is experimenting with Benzion to develop animal feeds products that are non-toxic and is bio-degradable therefore could be decomposed to produce fertilisers. Apart from this, the group has also using Benzoin to develop disinfectant products that meet high safety standards and could be used to disinfect parts of hospitals.
Buildings and facilities owners/ operators have also feedback to the Thailand government that even though the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the shopping habits of the locals, they still believed that people ultimately want to come out in the open and shop. They believed that it is important to restore the confidence of the locals and this could be achieved by developing innovative solutions that allow the public to have instant access to Covid-19 information so that they could decide whether or not to visit their places-of-interest.

The lack of development in Indonesia’s maritime infrastructure has been a crucial factor in the country’s high logistics costs. Potential higher trade growth, lower external financing costs and a depressed oil price as well as infrastructure development should drive Indonesia’s logistics industry forward when the country recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, Indonesia’s logistics performance in international rankings remains weak. Based on the 2018 World Bank’s logistic performance index, Indonesia scored 3.15 out of 5, trailing behind other Southeast Asian countries like Singapore (4), Thailand (3.41), Vietnam (3.27) and Malaysia (3.22). The only country that Indonesia has a edge over, is Philippines which scored a 2.9 out of 5.
The seemingly less-than-stellar performance of Indonesia’s logistics system is preventing the country from fully participating in the global production network. And It is easy to say that Indonesia needs to adopt an integrated approach to realise efficiencies across the entire supply chain.
In reality, the country has an uneven population distribution, giving rise to regional disparities and preventing the country from realising its economic potential. Apart from infrastructure investments, the country also needs to tackle issues surrounding bureaucracy and customs clearances. All these work together to stall Indonesia’s advancement in the maritime sector.
Even so, if we were to look at the World Bank’s logistic performance index again and widen our perspective to include the historical data, we could see that in 2010, Indonesia was actually ranked at the bottom of Southeast Asia with a score of 2.76. The country remained at the bottom throughout the entire 2010 – 2013 period. Then in 2014, the country arrested the situation and managed to lift itself from the bottom pit and surpassed Philippines. Since then, Indonesia has managed to maintain a clear gap between itself and the Philippines. On the upside, it is slowly but surely closing the gap with Malaysia.
In another attempt to transform and uplift the sector, Indonesia is partnering Netherlands to provide scholarships to Indonesian students who are interested in furthering their academic ambitions in Netherland to study postgraduate degrees in the field of water management and technology, sustainable entrepreneurship and circular economy focusing on the fishery and marine industries. Aside from providing scholarships, the administration would also consider to send their teachers and lecturers to Netherland, to learn about agriculture, on top of water management and circular economy.
Both countries hoped that this cooperation could provide a platform to nurture the much-needed professionals in these fields, hopefully spark value-added innovations and improve the bilateral relations between both countries.

Indonesia begun studying the Russian market a week ago, to which they’ve concluded that there are business opportunities in that market for their small and medium companies and it would be opportune to expand their business beyond the Indonesia borders during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coupled with the growing successes from the previous facilitations of business match-ups between Indonesian private sectors and overseas counterparts, they believed that they could help their private sector to achieve even more with the help of the Indonesian embassy that is located in Russia.
At the moment, they are working with the Indonesian embassy, to prepare programmes to promote Indonesian products, organise exhibitions, facilitate business matchings and trade agreements and even conducting a trade mission when times are ready.
Apart from this, Indonesia has also organised one webinar for the Indonesian companies to learn about the strategy of penetrating into the Russian market, local rules and regulations and also to source for relevant market opportunities. Moving forward, the target is to organise as many as 25 webinars, spread evenly over the entire 2021, to accustom the Indonesian companies to the Russian market.

According to studies, many Russians have the habit of converting their personal identity documents such as vehicle registration certificates, passports, drivers’ licenses and others, to digital photo formats and then store these documents on their smartphones, cloud drives or in their email software.
It was concluded that this isn’t safe digital practice because information couldn’t be updated automatically and at times neither convenient for the public nor the authorities to retrieve. As such, Russia would begin testings to aggregate these personal identity documents onto a single mobile application, for the ease of daily use. Russia estimated that the mobile application would be fully launched by mid-2021.

Vietnam has begun their study on the list of key industries that the country should focus on, in order to ready themselves to be a developed and high income country beyond 2030. Teams have roughly focused on areas such as exports, renewable energy, data analysis services, new energy, energy processing but would continue to exchange and brainstorm for more ideas and possibilities.
Regardless of the key industries, the country has identified that science and technology would be the number one enabler to propel Vietnam towards industrialisation and modernisation for the medium to long term. Application of the latest technology 4.0 would also advantage the country’s vision of sustainable growth.
The key industries would be those that are fundamental to the growth of other sub-sectors, defense-related or allow for the provision of essential needs for people’s livelihood amongst others. These key industries should also be able to leverage Vietnam’s competitive advantages and allow for internationalisation beyond the country.
