Prateep Jongthong, president of Trang tourism association, Saturday insisted that the August 12 bombings and arsons in various southern provinces including Trang had adversely impacted tourism as many visitors cancelled their planned travels.
As a result, he urged the government to solve the problem to boost tourists' confidence.
He said Trang saw all 100 per cent of tourists' cancellation rate and expressed his view that the bombings were likely stemmed from politics although the authorities were still probing such incidents for causes.
He also expressed that the impacts of these bombings could be felt until the tourist season in October, hence the government must solve the problem and explain to visitors to boost their confidence.
