The epidemic has left Thai elephants “unemployed” and the owners of the elephant park have switched to live broadcasting. How miserable is the local tourism industry?

Affected by the epidemic, elephants in Thailand have become unemployed because without tourists, they cannot make money through performances. In this case, the owner of the elephant garden broadcast live to reduce some losses. It can be seen from this that the local tourism industry is relatively miserable. If no one comes to visit, consumption will be very low. Because most of Thailand's income comes from tourism, it is different from other countries.

Raising an elephant is not a simple matter. It requires good care and plenty of food. For example, there is an elephant keeper who performs live broadcasts on social media, asking the elephants to do some actions or explain some knowledge, and can earn 1,000 baht a day. 1,000 baht is equivalent to about 190 yuan, which is not much, and the elephant farmer himself said that this amount of money is only enough to buy feed for the elephant. Every industry is moving forward with a heavy burden, and the tourism industry may be the most severely affected by the epidemic, especially cities and countries that rely on tourism as a pillar. Those who understand will naturally understand it, and there is no need for the editor to elaborate too much here. Only when the epidemic completely disappears or is brought under control can people travel with confidence. After all, most people have jobs and are not idlers, and they cannot be isolated locally because of the epidemic.

The misery of the tourism industry not only affects people's income, but also affects the lives of some people, because some people specialize in the tourism industry, such as tour guides or roadside stall owners. Only when there are many tourists can you make some money, but when there are few tourists, these stall owners will form a kind of competition, and there is no way to make money. However, Thailand is also relatively rich in supplies. If you don’t have money, you can still get food by relying on your own cultivation. And the local prices are also very cheap, which also reduces people's living costs to a certain extent.

We all say we look forward to spring and the day when the tourism industry will recover, but it may come later.
