New Year Countdown to generate over a billion baht

 

 

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects New Year countdown activities will generate over a billion baht revenue.

 

TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said TAT will hold the Amazing Thailand Countdown 2018 on New Year’s Eve from Dec 31 to Jan 1, 2018.

 

The countdown event will be held simultaneously in five provinces in five regions in the country to promote tourism. The five venues for countdown are in Lampang, Sakon Nakhon, Rayong, Kanchanaburi and Phuket.

 

Mr Yuthasak said he was confident that the event will attract both local and foreign tourists and will enable each province to earn  200 million baht each or 1 billion baht in total.

I guess they're planning to have the events on the non-smoking beaches and invite all the smokers. At 100k a pop, they'd only need 10000.

Since when do road fatalities produce income.

Perhaps they should run a second countdown, at ten minutes after midnight, and double the money they generate ? !

TAT and reality, opposites that never attract.
