Thai tourism trade unfazed by security warnings

Quick Summary:

Only a short-term impact is expected after several countries warned their citizens to exercise caution in Thailand following the deportation of 40 Uyghurs back to China, while tourism operators say cyber-scams are a greater concern.

Last month, Taiwan also listed Thailand as one of five high-risk destinations in Southeast Asia based on scam threats.

The THA urged security officials to ensure safety, especially at key destinations, to prevent critical incidents as happened in the past that severely disrupted tourism, said Mr Thienprasit.
