According to the federal official, the government on Sunday approved a new liquor control costs from the Public Health Ministry but ordered it to include in-depth measures to promote tourism within a week before its legislative process begins.
After the government meeting, spokesman Chai Wacharonke claimed the cupboard had asked the ministry’s secretary-general to come up with the tourism-promotion details that should be included in the new bill. According to him, the government anticipated receiving the details within a week, after which the costs may be submitted for review to the Council of State, the president’s legal arm.
The public health ministry’s act focuses on public health, but a government official said the state wants to promote tourism, a crucial financial engine.
” Consequently, public health and safety, and the public health dimension must be taken into account while the financial aspect needs to be more relaxed.” According to Mr. Chai, there will be a balance between the promotion of tourism and the business.
According to the government official, the government on Sunday rejected three additional alcohol control bills from the legal field and the main opposition party, Move Forward, because they were too liberal. He claimed that some helpful provisions of the expenses could be incorporated into the health ministry’s expenses.
The government agreed that a fresh alcohol control bill should be passed to fit the current circumstances, according to Mr. Chai. Any drink with a beer content never exceeding 0.5 % is not considered an alcoholic drink under the new law.
A minister in charge will be able to establish rules for the locations and days of alcohol consumption.
