The chief of the Tourism Council of Thailand has said that the ongoing democracy protests against the government threaten to deal a further hammer blow to the country's tourism industry.

 

Chairat Trairatanajarasporn noted that the pandemic had already decimated foreign tourism.

 

Now the rapidly spreading protests threatened to do the same to what domestic tourism the country has managed to get going. 

 

Not just that.

 

The whole economy would suffer if the protests escalate. 

 

He said that tourism businesses in the private sector were following the news closely like everyone else and fearing the worst.

Don't think there are many business people joining in the demonstrations. Whilst some of them may agree to a degree with the principal of the demos, I'm sure their bottom line comes first. And their shop windows come a close second.

 

Most people in business I know prefer to work around problems rather than rock the boat. 

 

It's academic either way, as nothing is going to change drastically in the next 6 months by which time any potential tourists will have forgotten about the current situation, and the current situation will  be resolved.  He said, hopefully.

The  whole country is suffering under the current administration, whose performance is the reason for the protests.

Bring in real democracy and the country and economy will flourish.

So you think that democracy, Thaksin style for example, will repair the economy overnight, and that while the world is reeling under the Wuhan virus?

Dream on......

Democracy often is not bringing any good to the people.
