Bloomberg quoted Thailand Deputy Financial Minister Julapun AMORNVIVAT reported that Congress will consider creating an entertainment composite bill on the 28th of this month, allowing local gambling. After the relevant bill was passed by Congress, it will be submitted to the cabinet and finally decided.It is also said that the opening of a comprehensive resort is to curb illegal gambling behaviors in China.Scholars believe that the open gambling industry in Thailand will definitely attract more tourists to Thailand and bring greater economic benefits to Thailand.
In response, Chen Shizheng, a professor of the Department of Public Affairs and International and Cross -Strait Affairs of Taiwan Fo Guang University, told reporters from Hong Kong Zhongtong News Agency on the 20th that if there is no way to completely prohibit illegal gambling, it is better to correct it through legal channelsFor example, legitimate management allows the gambling industry to take the right track; in a specific area, let specific people go in, so that illegal gambling in Thailand will also play a role in curbing.
Chen Shangzheng continued that illegal gambling in Thailand is currently quite serious. Locals like to buy a lottery -like lottery tickets, this lottery is quite popular in the local area.Especially some local people in the local and lower classes, they all want to use "Lotto" to buy a hope, and then make their living environment better.And a considerable part of the people may feel that the lottery can no longer meet their needs and start to go to some illegal casinos to get angry.
As for the issue of public security?Chen Shangzheng believes that these problems can be controlled.He pointed out that it is also Asian countries, and the most famous in the management of casino is Singapore.While opening a casino, Singapore has some specific regulations to the locals. Local residents enter the casino and need to pay the government to the government to pay a daily fee of RMB 150 or 3,000 per year.In addition, relatives who find that family members have the mentality of gamblers can apply to the casino for a "doorstep."The object of attraction is mainly tourists. In this case, even if Singapore opens the gambling industry, it has a little negative impact on the local people.
Chen Shangzheng takes Jeju Island as an example. There are casinos and restaurants on the island, which is the so -called casino in the so -called resort.Earlier this year, he also visited the casino on the site of Jeju Island to observe on the spot that the casino, like Singapore, has a strict rule that locals cannot enter.
Referring to the practice of the above two countries, Chen Shangzhang believes that opening the casino will not cause public security issues, but the premise is to formulate a rigorous follow -up management policy for the opening of the casino.Reduce its negative impact on law and order.
Chen Shangzheng reminded that Laos opposite Thailand opened a super large casino, and their targets are obviously Thai tourists or Thai people.In this case, in addition to reducing Thai people to run abroad, Thailand can also allow tourists to stay in Thailand.Thailand's tourism industry was quite famous in Asia. If you open up the gambling industry on this basis, Chen Shangzheng feels that it will help the tourism industry.
