"Rebuilding tourism is not just putting more effort into marketing and strategy, but also into prevention and rehabilitation," said Kongkrit Hiranyakit, president for policy and planning at the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT), as Thailand's image overseas as a country at high risk of natural disasters will cast a cloud on the Thai hospitality scene through 2012. According to The Nation, the TCT has urged the government to establish a Tourism Risk Fund as a reassurance for tourists that they will always be taken care of so that they continue coming back even during difficult times.
