Development Of Border Tourism Should Be Reported Fairly.

SONGKHLA (Bernama) - The development of border tourism particularly in southern Thailand, which is sometimes affected by terrorist threats, should be reported fairly by the mass media to ensure that the sector remained relevant, said the president of the Press Association of Southern Thailand, Chaiyong Maneromsakun.

Thus, he hoped the media cooperation between Malaysia and Thailand could be strengthened to ensure that they received accurate information and assisted both countries to develop the border tourism sector more effectively.

Speaking through an interpreter at the meeting between the Perlis Media Club (KEMPs) and the Press Association of Southern Thailand at the Malaysian Consul General's office in Songkhla Monday, he hoped the meeting would become the beginning of a close cooperation between the two parties.

Chaiyong said he was happy at the turnout by the Malaysian media representatives at the meeting which indirectly gave a positive picture on the cooperation to be forged.

Meanwhile, KEMPs deputy president Shahidi Shahidan said he planned to develop a deeper relationship with the media in southern Thailand which could help to promote the Perlis tourism sector.

He said KEMPs had prepared a draft of understanding between the club and the Press Association of Southern Thailand which would be studied by both parties before the signing either in Songkhla or Perlis soon.
