surangw Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 do they really think making announcements like this will actually will make a difference in the tourism ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) do they really think making announcements like this will actually will make a difference in the tourism ? No. But I was talking with my landlord's son the other day, he's the president of the Rawai Longtail Boat Assn and he was saying tourism should be up, he hopes. I said did you know that the Baht is at a relative high against the Dollar, Euro and pound? His face kind of dropped. He then told his brother and several other boat drivers what I just said and there weren't any smiling faces... But it's high season soon, and I have seen a bit more activity here. It was dead here in south Phuket for months! I like it without tourists, but I feel for the local business people that are dependent on tourists...

ableguy Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Why don't they just save all the pratting about and have a standard press handout "Tourist arrivals are expected to be up from between -25% and +100%". Trot it out four times a yer. It will be just as meaningful and probably a darn sight more accurate. Good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
