Tourist Assistance Center set up following political clashes

BANGKOK (NNT) -- A Tourist Assistance Center has been launched by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports (MOTS) due to last night's clashes between state authorities and UDD supporters.

According to the MOTS Permanent Secretary Attachai Burakamkowit, the Office of Tourism Development (OTD) has coordinated with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in compiling the number of international tourists, which was believed to have declined even before the clashes on Saturday.

The Tourist Assistance Center has been set up to provide service for international tourists in Thailand. The center is located on New Petchaburi Road, with officials from MOTS, TAT, insurance companies and tourist police ready to provide information to visitors.

Various media offices and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been requested to help publicize the opening of the center as well as information on tourist protection. The center can be reached via hotline 0-2205-7711, with over 100 lines available around the clock.
