webfact Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT) president, Chamnan Srisawat, has reassured that the Constitutional Court ruling will not destabilise the government or the country’s tourism sector. He confidently stated that international tourism demand would remain unaffected unless there was severe violence. Chamnan credited Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s government with beneficial tourism-driving initiatives, such as visa-free travel for high-potential markets. Despite governmental stability, Chamnan acknowledged the challenges of attracting 35 million foreign tourists and achieving a revenue of 1.9 trillion baht (US$ 53,467,710,000) this year. Chookiat Ophaswongse, the honorary president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, suggested it was premature to determine the court ruling’s repercussions. He warned that legal action against the Move Forward Party (MFP) could lead to political unrest and demonstrations, affecting tourism, exports, credibility, and markets. The extent of these potential consequences, he noted, would rest on the government’s ability to manage the situation effectively, reported Bangkok Post. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of MGR Online Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-01 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Wrwest Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Too early to tell but my guess is it will have no effect on tourism unless, as stated, there is societal unrest. No, the most serious effect will be on the Kingdom of Thailand losing face among other nations who recognize the current law has been misused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 On short term yes, but the new petitions filed to the EC it could turn otherwise... and with a possibility with tanks in the streets again, I think the best way to do now is leave MFP untouched and everything would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rather non-nonsensical and needless statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
