A: Crises are often turning points for the travel industry. Let me use the East Asian financial crisis of a few years ago as an example. That crisis affected a number of Asian nations, battering their industries and causing their economies to plummet. The Thai government, however, was relatively unconcerned about tourism.
答：對觀光產業而言，危機常常就是轉機，讓我以幾年前的亞洲金融風暴為例，當時許多亞洲國家都受風暴影響，經濟嚴重受挫，各種產業都受創至深，但當時泰國政府對觀光業反倒較安心，因為比起重工業、輕工業等，觀光事業的維持成本更低。
