Before the upcoming legislative session in July, Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong said that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is expected to encourage coalition parties to explore the casino–entertainment difficult costs.
According to Mr. Sorawong, the Pheu Thai Party’s secretary-general, Ms. Paetongtarn, who is also the party president, instructed group MPs to explain the benefits of the expenses to their provincial constituents.
” The people did not vote against the job,” the statement continued. We explained to them that the leisure complex is not just a game.
It will bring foreign investment, according to Mr. Sorawong, making it a fresh source of income.
Pheu Thai list-MP Anusorn Iamsa-ard stated that the public had good feedback about the project, and that the nation would lose the chance to develop a totally integrated entertainment complex if it doesn’t succeed.
If Thailand has these compounds, he said, the country will be able to draw international events that may lead to employment.
The government first scheduled a first reading of this contentious bill for April 9, but the government’s move to move things along quickly caused the delay until the upcoming July legislative session.
The act has serious concerns to be addressed, including US tariffs, but Ms. Paetongtarn insists that the government has not withdrawn it.
While critics of the bill, which would allow casinos to be included in pleasure complexes, demanded that it be completely eliminated, she said the government would continue to gather people insight and clearly state the program’s objectives.
Ms. Paetongtarn added that the need for Thais to enter casino-entertainment compounds would also be looked into more.
The government approved the bill on March 27 as part of the government’s strategy to lessen its reliance on annual hospitality.
The job is said to take in 119–283 billion baht annually and increase the number of foreign visitors to Thailand by 5 to 10 %, according to the government.
Music rooms, sports arenas, water parks, and/or hotels will make up the majority of the complexes, while casinos will only take up 10 % of the room.
