TAT is really clueless. To think a movie that will be made mostly using AI of dinosaurs wil increase tourism simply because it displays some of Thailands landscape is ridiculous. I can see it now, Thousands of UK citizens rushing to buy tickets to Thailand after seeing the movie haha...

Also, I fail to see how the making of a movie increases local employment? Most of the crew for the movie was imported. And any work given to locals would have been temporary. Not a real job. 

Why did you look in smallville when he was in Metropolis? 

The only clueless person here is you. First of all the dinosaurs are not made with "AI". It is highly skilled CGI.

Second, the majority of the crew were Thai and it was a real boost. You clearly have no idea how the film industry works.

And of course movies like these have a tourism effect. White Lotus had a measured impact on tourism in Sicily, Hawaii and Samui. The Beach had a huge impact on tourism around Krabi and Maya Bay. Ever heard of Harry Potter and all the Harry Potter tours? Game of Thrones increased tourism by 400% in Dubrovnik. Does Lord of the Rings ring any bells? Massive increase in NZ tourism. Even naff movies like Kong: Skull Island had a knock on effect on tourism in places like Ha Long Bay. 

Your ignorance is shocking.

Did it?  It was one of the most watched and best reviewed 'cable' series of the year!

 

In March, according to TAT "The series is anticipated to showcase Thailand’s cultural and visual identity, promote its soft power, and contribute to its economic recovery ... with the Tourism Authority of Thailand expecting a 20% rise in tourism."

 

"Thailand's foreign tourist arrivals from Jan 1 to June 22 fell 4.24% compared to the same period a year earlier, the Tourism and Sports Ministry said on Tuesday."

Of course I am clueless.. Making this movie will surely attract more tourist especially from China. There will be swarms of them coming to see the location. In fact, TAT should set up fake dinosaurs there to include in their attracting these tourists.. New Dino park sounds good. 

On the other hand. I do not seriously think the tourism will increase or dispel the fears of travelling to thailand along with the other problems being a tourist here like overcharging, visas, safety to name a few.

Really needs any dinasour movies?

State of politics  here looks very much like Jurassic Park itself though.

T-Rex on top of the advertising tower?

For more Quality Touriists like human shaped little Godzilla?

Expect millions of additional tourists once they see the spectacular and pristine landscapes here. The rivers are as pure as the Scottish Highlands and the beaches rival the greatest beaches to be found in the South Pacific.
