webfact Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 PARIS ATTACKSThailand's tourist numbers maintained at 32mThe NationBANGKOK: -- The Office National Economic and Social Development Board has maintained the tourist number target for 2016 at 32 million, despite terrorist attacks in Paris.Paramethi Wimolsiri, the NESDB’s secretary-general, said today that the attacks’ negative sentiments on the global tourism industry would be short-lived.He said that Thailand’s tourism fundamentals remain strong and security units have toughened their measures."The economic impacts will be short-lived. It is likely that (the attacks) would affect the number of tourists to Thailand," he said.After the Erawan Shrine bombing in August, Thailand has witnessed an increase in visitor arrivals. The NESDB is convinced that in the fourth quarter, the number would reach 8 million.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Thailands-tourist-numbers-maintained-at-32m-30273043.html-- The Nation 2015-11-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onni4me Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 has maintained the tourist number target for 2016 at 32 million I also have a target to spend a million a month. I am extremely rich just lacking cash reserves at the moment to reach my target. But I am fully confident I will reach my target a way or another...where is that loan shark I just met last week..?

Emster23 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 "Thailand's tourist numbers maintained at 32m" Misleading headline, left out "target". Seeing or setting a target and hitting it are two different things. TAT can't comprehend that, like so many other pronouncements they make.
