Pokemon must attract tourists

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports wants Pokémon Go to attract tourists. That and other plans should compensate for the number of tourists who are now staying away as a result of the bombings. The figurines are placed in popular and safe tourist destinations.

The Ministry will develop an infographic and user guide for Pokemon hunters. The Pokemon package for three days and two nights will cost 10.000 baht. The destination is the North of Thailand, where the Pokémon spots should promote the historical places.
