NCPO urged to appoint new tourism policy chief

BANGKOK: -- The Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT) has proposed the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to speedily appoint a new chief of the National Tourism Policy Committee so that it could start work immediately to boost tourism.

TCT president Piyaman Techapaiboon said the priority of the tourism sector now is to restore the country’s image and explain the true situation of the country to foreign tourists.

Through the National Tourism Policy Committee urgent measures could be carried out immediately, she said.

However, she said that since the House dissolution, the committee stayed without the chairman and therefore could not do anything.

Ms Piyaman then encouraged the NCPO to appoint a qualified person to head the committee urgently to do the job to restore image and boost tourism

The committee could help integrate tourism policies and act as the main mechanism in laying down a clear tourism development strategy, she said, adding that tourist confidence would be restored and the country could maintain its revenue target from tourism this year.

Maybe tourism, is a bigger part of the countrys G.D.P. Than the percentages quoted!

[winstonc]

could not do anything ..??i only ever see it predict figures which are massaged more than thaksins ego...

[Thailand]

Isn't the true situation that the country is under military rule and 60 plus countries will not change their recommendations regarding travel to Thailand for their citizens whilst that state of play remains the same?

[worgeordie]

The first qualification would be a very good liar.

NO it's not true.

[Nuddy]

I think that rather than the wind tunnel that would be the "facelift" surgery or maybe the botox injections.

Still she has a point, its hard to run a committee without a proper chairman

[ginjag]

AND TAT is there any more ?? I think the sports and something is connected. The whole lot wants re vamping.

Sorry but had to make this remark to this poster.

Yes, but she wouldn't be getting a string of pearls from me..

Come on now. Don't be silly.

not shouting just making the word stand out so you noticed it and it worked.

The travel situation has been on it's heels way before the army took over. PTP put the damper on that over a period of time because of it's governing that turned out against them---blame them not the army.

Sorry for you that you have to resort to blame the army for the drop in tourism, Don't forget they are mostly recommendations from last year. Your one of the denial posters regarding PTP are you not ?? hence your dig at the army post. relax enjoy the fresh feeling, and it will get fresher.

Posting in capitals is shouting which is something you do regularly.

As for my post, what is incorrect?

Is there not a military occupation?

Are there not 60+ countries issuing travel warnings to their citizens?

Are those countries likely to change their position if the military remain in occupation?

Need someone to preach the Juntas propaganda to world. All these one sided stories coming out of Thailand by the Junta does nothing to boost Thailand's image. The Junta needs to allow everyone to have a voice and not just them, it is only being seen as a dictatorship where everyone must obey the Army or else.

The Junta has to realise that the world is not Thailand and it can't be fed propaganda and demand that they suck it up as facts. The rest of the world was never raised in the Thai education system where you were spoon fed rubbish by teachers and you were never allowed to question superiors. The world is laughing at the Junta and condemns them.

No some words in capitols are not shouting, usually the term is when full sentences are capitols, or the full post.

Now to make an issue of 1 word --2 letters as your theme on this topic is a bit OTT.

Your post about countries putting out warnings is correct. But as I said it has been in place for yonks now, ever since the protests started.

There is not a military as you are insinuating, we have not been invaded, just a stop to any ongoing hostilities which was needed--so tell me who was going to stand in other than the army ??

All your post is about is the refusal to accept the army has had to fill in the void left by a diabolical government---simple as that.

Your first sentence --the personal bit Ha --you are not the one to talk when you have been defending a corrupt government for a while-

And to quote--"something you do regularly."

Your pushing your posting rights Chooka, however much military sticks in your throat, live with it for a while and see how it turns out---if it turns out wrong you will get near ALL the posters being critics of, as they were against PTP on TVF.

[tomyummer]

They should hire outside of the country. Maybe someone from the Singapore Tourism Board. They do wonders with a handful of people versus Thailand's thousands from the tourism authority.

[stickyrice2000]

This is the Thai style. They do not tell the truth to cause panic to the world.

A good example is this news from Bangkokpost. They are going to punish an engineer and driver for telling the truth about the rail system.

Will they be punishing you for spragging on the B.Post, and punish them for printing it ??

Quote. "Panic to the world," is there a massive asteroid heading our way. ?? Lay off a bit, it'll all come out in the wash.

Maybe tourism, is a bigger part of the countrys G.D.P. Than the percentages quoted!

It sure is how much is the turnower for the sex industri? The bargirls are really shopping around and sends money to family that also spend money.

I have made the same point for years -Girl, boys bars-massage-and all the street traders feeding these kids after hours, Money poured back to shops from these workers, parents collecting from local P.Offices, and paying bills and improving homes, sales of M/Cycles as most of these kids buy one-it's never ending the monies collected from bars etc.

Just this part of tourism. Without any of this money handed over by tourists the industry would dry up. The spin offs --hotel closures--food businesses closed-no sex tourists few taxis--mini buses--beach venders--airlines--

Before I was shouted down as a figure was given out as 6%. and I suggested it was over 20%. Official figures and reality are completely different.
