May be so, but how many will actually book a shore excursion and how many will remain onboard to enjoy the ship's facilities????? (zero Baht)

If all the 2200 passengers on the Ship disembark, and find their way into Sri Racha, the estimated 22 M spend will equate to 10,000 baht PP 

Hardly Earth shattering numbers

Stay on board in air conditioned comfort, enjoying a buffet and drinks, or go ashore and get fleeced.

Tough choice.

One can only assume that the term "statistician" is outside your vocabulary.
