However, if government agencies and the private sector still do not know how to continue working Can't decide whether to invest or not to invest Able to exchange and discuss with 8 parties to form a government
Mr. Phitha said he had looked at the statistics of Chinese tourists who started traveling after COVID-19. Equal before Covid-19 But it is also domestic tourism, which has doubled in January. It means that he is ready to travel but has not yet left the country. Therefore, we have to discuss what the cause is, how we will allocate the portfolio of tourists in the year 2019 and how to make the tourists spread both macro and micro. because it is important to the economy which the tourists entering the country are spending in cash cause a turnover compared to the industry Than to produce, send to collect money Causing money to slow down, so tourism is important.
However, he will bring experience that he had worked in the private sector, working at MPs and the budget commissioner. To compare the budget with GDP from tourism to see the numbers. which the work must be integrated Whether the Ministry of Tourism Tourism Authority of Thailand Must work to be the same turbocharged body

At the macro level, it is the number of tourists who arrived in Thailand before and after COVID-19, in which the two parts are not at all alike. We have to allocate a portfolio of where we want to get tourists from. Which group comes to Thailand? have to sit and think micro level He wanted to spread out, not clump, because today 75% of tourists concentrated in 5 major cities
when concentrated The problem is that he won't last long. Not spending a lot of money If it is spread out, it will cause travel expenses. this is our intention At the same time, it will also stimulate the grassroots economy. Ready to think about supply and demand, everything must be integrated, such as tourism supply, including guides, tour guides, labor, focusing on potential development. to support sustainable tourism He believes that if we complete the whole body Believe that post-COVID travel in Thailand is better than before Go further and more sustainably
