In order to attract foreign tourists to Thailand, the Thai government previously announced that it would spend 100 million yuan to invite Lisa, a famous singer and singer who has developed in South Korea, to participate in the New Year's Countdown to Phuket. Although this appearance fee has caused a lot of controversy, and even triggered the horse grabbing incident of other artists in the Thai entertainment industry, the Thai official has repeatedly stressed that the money is definitely worth spending, and also believes that Lisa can promote the development of tourism. According to Thai media reports, the 100 million baht performance cost the government intends to apply directly from the cabinet budget, and also set aside 45 minutes of single performance time for Lisa at the New Year's Eve event, giving the foot card face and trust, which shows the Thai government's emphasis on Lisa's performance.
Thai media said that Thailand's Minister of Tourism and Sports Pippa recently revealed that the leader of the Thai side has determined that Lisa can come to participate and is about to sign a formal contract. As soon as this news came out, it caused a lot of public concern on the Internet, and fans were also mixed about Lisa's promise to come to the event. It can be said that for several weeks, journalists and fans from all over Thailand and even many countries have been paying attention to this matter.
However, just when the major media have published Lisa confirmed that she is coming to Thailand to participate in Phuket New Year's Eve, fans also think that everything has been settled, on October 28, Lisa's South Korean YG Entertainment Company issued a statement saying that Lisa could not attend, and the speed of light "punched in the face" previously confirmed rumors.
YG statement reads: Due to rumors that our artist LISA will go to Thailand to participate in the New Year's Eve event, our company makes the following statement, our company is very honored to receive the invitation, but regrets to inform everyone that Lisa will not be able to attend the New Year's Eve event, and hereby issue this statement to inform the public.
On October 28, Thai Tourism Authority Director Utasa responded to the above statement, saying that he respected the other party's decision and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Yutasa said the Thai Tourism Authority will host other events in the tourist pilot area and elsewhere in the country, such as the Reopen Thailand: Culture & Tourism Festival, but only if the outbreak situation in the region is considered. Artists and entertainers from all over Thailand will be invited to participate in the event to promote Thailand's tourism industry. Create revenue for tourist attractions and local restaurants that have experienced the new crown epidemic in the past two years, unlock domestic tourism, maintain a balance between public health and economy, respond to the founding policy, and further recover the economy.
As for the Italian singer Andrea, the Thai Tourism Bureau is still under consideration. (Source: Khaosod, ch3plus; compilers: hush, wan)
