Thailand is a beautiful area that has recovered from the tsunami that destroyed some of their most visited areas. Even though funding for repair of the damaged area came from many organizations, we must continue to sustain these breathtaking areas. Tourism is one of the biggest industries that Thailand relies on, to bring money into the country, especially in the Tsunami areas.
According to ukessays.com "The 6 provinces affected most by the tsunami are able to generate as much as 100,000 million baht of tourism income or as much as 17.4 per cent of the total tourist income of Thailand." Much of this revenue comes from the major hotels and resorts in the area and not from the local businesses. This may be due to large companies having money to repair their own buildings and local companies having to wait for relief money.
Although it has been over 8 years since the tsunami hit the coasts of Thailand local business in those areas still rely on tourists for their income. Local businesses such as Paddle Asia are what we need to invest our money in when visiting Thailand. I urge you to use ecotourism to sustain the local businesses in the area you decide to visit. Through out my blog, there are posts of how to help support the local economy. Do your research before you visit places and help your friends and family due the same. If you do this local businesses can thrive, and you will be able to help them be able to offer other people the same experience that you can have.
