Tourism authorities should work to mitigate the short-term impact of the shooting at a Bangkok mall this week by pivoting to other potential markets less affected by the news to keep a steady flow of arrivals during high season, according to the Association of Thai Travel Agents (Atta).
Atta president Sisdivachr Cheewarattanaporn said news reports on the shooting at Siam Paragon had spread in many countries, but at differing levels.
Atta finished a roadshow in Mumbai this week and the association monitored feedback from the Indian market.
The group found there were less concerns among Indians about the shooting than from the Chinese market.
