elgordo38 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Headlines Central on the hunt for assets. I was reading this article and came across the following statement by the chief executive stating "Whenever the economy goes down the number of tourists will increase" I know I only have a grade 10 education but could someone please explain to me how this makes sense. Is it one of those the glass is half full or the glass is half empty statements. Sure beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Soutpeel Posted February 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) "Whenever the economy goes down the number of tourists will increase" it comes from the same Thai economics book which says when there are lessor tourists, increase the room rates to make up the short fall in income...

No, no, you misunderstand. When there are 'lessor tourists' , you give them lessor services. That will be sure to increase the revenue stream.

HarleyKrishna Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm guessing the above posts are sarcasm, but what I think what he's saying is, if the baht is weak against the USD, Euro, CND, AUD, etc. it will attract more tourists because they get more for their money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert24 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Why not ask CPN directly? It may just be a translation issue from Bangkokpost. As an aside, CPN in my view is one of the better companies here with very strong management. Been holding their shares for a long time and see no reason to sell it.

You are correct. The other posts could be sarcasm, but more than likely, just idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
