Tourism operators said they would be disappointed if tourism and sports minister is not on the wish lists of the two major political parties as has been speculated by the media, given that the sector is driving the local economy.
As several parties seeking to form a coalition government are scheduled to sign a memorandum of understanding on May 22, there were reports about ministry quotas, with the Move Forward Party (MFP) and Pheu Thai, the two parties with the most elected MPs, sharing key economic ministry posts, but not the Tourism and Sports Ministry.
