BANGKOK, 2 July 2011– The Association of Domestic Travel (ADT) has expressed concerns over negative impacts on the domestic tourism industry after the recent withdrawal of Thailand from the World Heritage Convention.
ADT President Maiyarat Phreerayakoses said impacts were inevitable, particularly on foreign tourists who make stopovers in Thailand before travelling to neighbouring Cambodia.
Ms Maiyarat hence suggested that Thailand should seek a joint management plan of the Preah Vihear Temple and its environs with Cambodia since this would mutually benefit tourism of both sides. She continued that Thailand would only be at a disadvantage if the conflict remains.
The ADT president also expressed concern over a report that foreign investors were ready to throw their money into the planned construction of cable cars to the summit of the Preah Vihear Temple on the Cambodian side.
Meanwhile, Mr Taweesan Lonanurak, the vice-president of the Northeast Economic Development Commission, said the withdrawal of Thailand from the convention might affect the Thai tourism partially; however, the most worrying issue was trade and investment along Thai-Cambodian border.

no need to regret, u thailand king never smiled, was making the right decision.. to walk out

Ooooooh..you poor baby. Thailand don't need to worry about the withdrawal from UNESCO because Thailand is one badass motherf!@ker. Losing UNESCO membership shouldn't hurt Thailand at all because Thailand is stroooooong, Thailand is riiiiiiich, and everybody looooooves Thailand. Stop kicking yourself in the balls, Thailand. It's very dangerous to lie to yourself. You're not invincible. Your time is coming, prepare for your slow downfall. You won't notice it, until it hits you like a ton of bricks. It will be long and painful. This is my wish and curse for you, Thailand.
to all khmer leader please don't let thailand joint the tourism with prea vihear just block of from their side if any tourist want to see prea vihear came to khmer side only.
