More Malaysian tourists expected to visit Sungai Golok

Report from The New Straits Times dated Wednesday 17 May 2006 :-

More Malaysian tourists expected to visit Sungai Golok

SUNGAI GOLOK: Thailand is expecting an upsurge in Malaysian tourists to the southern provinces this year, following a slowdown in violence in the areas.

About 1.4 million Malaysians visited the provinces annually before an upsurge in bombings and attacks saw the numbers dwindle to about 300,000 last year.

Narathiwat Tourist Business Association chairman Abdul Aziz Awang Seman said 600,000 Malaysians were expected to cross the border this year.

"The confidence is based on the overwhelming turnout of Malaysians during the recent Songkran (water festival).

"It showed renewed confidence among Malaysians, especially with fewer shootings and bombings," he said.

Aziz said many hotels and shopping complexes, forced to close down because of poor business, had reopened.
