Thai hotels threaten to pull out of tourism scheme as payments slow down

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): With more stringent measures in place to prevent fraud, many hotels are complaining about long delays in the payment of subsidies under the Rao Tiew Duay Kan (We Travel Together) scheme. The scheme was launched to boost domestic tourism.

Some hotels are worried they may hit liquidity problems, especially with the long Songkran holidays drawing near.
