Because of the continuing protests aimed at the resignation of Prime Minister Yinglak Shinawatra, Thailand's tourism industry was not counted 300 thousand travelers.

The number announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the country - this is the number of tourists, according to the representatives of the state body, refused to travel to Thailand due to the unstable political situation . According to preliminary estimates, the financial losses due to the annulment of the tours have now reached the mark of 16 million baht (just under 15 million rubles) . Of course, this amount is negligible compared to the annual income of the local tourist industry, but the continuation of the demonstrations threatens kud but more serious losses: less than a month there will be a Christmas vacation period, which traditionally has the peak of trips to the Kingdom . There is no need to go far for examples: this year Phuket has once again become the most popular foreign destination among Russian travelers for the time to come New Year's holidays .

Recall that, according to the tour operator SAYAMA Travel, tourists in Bangkok have nothing to worry about: all the demonstrations of the protesters are exclusively peaceful and do not represent absolutely no eels for the guests of the capital
