Thailand is just finishing up their casino law and if approved, 5 casinos will be allowed to operate in the country one being owned by Melco Resorts. Do you think that a show can influence not only the tourists but as well as the government's perception and decisions about gambling and casinos? Or do you think the impact of a film or a show isn't enough to sway people?

The influence of media on all areas of human endeavours cannot be overemphasized. Movies and other visuals or even oral programs can influence the behaviour of viewers or listeners and make them behave in a certain manner.

There are some locations I have seen in some movies that I will want to visit. The beauty and coordination of the area would definitely attract tourists to the area. The influence it will have on the government will depend on the kind of people in power. If they are interested in gambling those movies might make them have a positive view of gambling.

It is not everybody that will watch the film. Also, not everyone who watches the film will be enticed by what they see. Other factors might contribute to attracting gamblers to a certain location.

I think one subtle way of influencing viewers to attract them as tourists is by introducing a concept called safe gambling. With an environment like rollspace, viewers can see that there's always "good gambling"
