Infection keeps visitors from RayongSaeng Chan Beach in Rayong faces a tourist drought. Arnun ChonmahatrakoolTourism in the eastern region of the country has been slowed by local panic over a new uncontrolled case of infection in Rayong, with operators asking the government to take serious action to stop further damage. Despite a stagnant tourist market, many hotels in Chon Buri reopened after the cash aid from the Social Security Fund expired in June. "The new case in the province sparked concern over the situation in Rayong and nearby provinces," he said. To build confidence, the government should encourage government officers to hold meetings in Rayong and other nearby provinces when the area is clear from panic, he said.
