The Thai government is collaborating with Netflix to develop a creative travel guide to promote tourism and attract more tourists to visit the country via cruise ships, said the government.

 

Anucha Burapachaisri, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, revealed that Thailand is partnering with the well-known streaming service platform, Netflix, to create a travel guide that will navigate tourists to locations featured in movies.

 

Anucha stated cruises were one of the most popular forms of tourism transportation with a global market surging exponentially. During last year’s high season between October to March, cruise ships carrying an average 1,800-2,400 passengers made one-day stops in Thailand and spent about 4-10 times higher than ordinary tourists.

WHY do we get only 20% of the USA content?  How about that as a FIRST issue?

Bob, you bring up an excellent point. I cancelled my subscription because of this. I hate Hollywood films and I especially hate Hollywood action movies and Disney-type stuff. I will be honest with you, I couldn't see anything on there worth watching. There are codes which are occasionally published in newspapers....if you input one of these codes you can access the whole of the Netflix library.

Makes no sense as most European nations and cruise stops have banned the cruise ships or put drastic quotas as the inconveniences generated with cruise ships, were far higher the the benefits generated.
