There is a popular saying that China's tourism industry is the most unique in the world.Because China's tourism industry is not poisoned, it is purely based on landscape and culture.
This is reasonable, although China has not completely eliminated the territory of the drug, but the drug does not basically involve tourists and entering tourists. and some countries around China, there are different degrees of the drug and tourism industry interpenetration.
During this period, the curve.Take stock of China's neighboring countries and which ones are engaged in"Tourism+The poison game?”
A casino game that damages neighbors and benefits others
Among pornography and gambling, gambling is the most commonly used as a means of diversion. Casinos are a powerful weapon to harvest high-spending customers in other countries.
Take South Korea for example, the area is equivalent to South Korea in Zhejiang Province.18Set up a casino,among them17The seat only serves foreigners, and Koreans are prohibited from entering.Korean casinos generally use the integrated resort model, offering accommodation, food, gambling, tax-free shopping, hot springs,SPAOne-stop services such as performances, and its casinos attract a lot of Chinese and Japanese tourists.The casino staff is proficient in the Korean language of the three countries.
South Korea's casinos that "drain foreigners 'wallets"
The reason for South Korea's enthusiasm for gambling is also simple, compared to China and Japan, South Korea's tourist resources and cultural heritage are really a bit out of hand. The resources are not enough, the casinos come together. China (except for Macau), Japan is strictly prohibited gambling, which gives South KoreaThe chance of “harming neighbors’ interests” and so, the small South Korea got it.18The casino .
There are two casinos in Singapore, which is also an integrated resort model. In fact, Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew abhorred gambling. During his administration, he publicly stated,As long as he is alive, Singapore will not be allowed to build a casino.
However, the casino business, you don’t do, will be cheaper for your neighbors. The more Singapore insists on not doing, the more happy the cloud casino in Malaysia earns.2005Two casino resorts were approved in one go, and Singaporeans only need to reach21You can enter at the age of. This is almost an exhortation to Singaporeans,“Don’t go gambling in Malaysia anymore, okay, we singaporeans are gambling in Singapore.”All this happened under Lee Kuan Yew's nose.
Singapore engages in casinos mainly because Malaysian casinos are too successful. Malaysia's Genting Group is the second largest casino group in the world. Genting Group is composed of Chinese Lin Wutong1965Founded in, it originally started at the Genting Resort Casino on a hill near Kuala Lumpur, which is still the only legal casino in Malaysia. Later, Genting Group, which tasted the sweetness of the casino business, went out of Malaysia and successively invested and operated dozens of casinos in Southeast Asia, the United States and Europe.Dozens of cruise ships have also been built as "mobile casinos" on the high seas.

Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia, Singapore are among the most restrained, only one or two casinos, other countries have a few dozen, many hundreds of casinos, there are comprehensive resort types, there are chess rooms, and many illegal underground casinos.
Vietnam has a deal.40The vast majority of casinos are only open to foreign tourists. Forbidden to Vietnam. Vietnam's casino model is also very "clever", similar to the model of attracting investment. Vietnam gives foreign capital a casino license, which is invested and operated by foreigners, and is only open to foreign tourists. Foreign capital has built hotels, resorts and other facilities for Vietnam, improving local tourism reception capabilities, and casinos have also attracted more foreign tourists to Vietnam.It is equivalent to Vietnam using casino licenses as bait to attract large amounts of investment and international passenger flow. However, Vietnam native people neither operate casinos nor participate in gambling, minimizing the impact on Vietnam.
Thailand is one of the few countries in Southeast Asia that prohibits casinos. But if you don't engage in legal things, you can engage in illegal ones. Many underground casinos collude with local military and police forces and become a well-known gray industry in the local area.
Buddhist Thailand sees gambling as a “evil business”
Casinos in the Philippines are different from other countries. Other countries use casinos to harvest neighboring countries, while the Philippines harvests even its own citizens.The Philippines considers casinos to be a national wealth tool., there is a national appointment40There are state-owned casinos, which are directly operated by the government, and their profits are turned over to the treasury. When the government opens a casino next time, it naturally hopes to have as many customers as possible. Therefore, the Philippines does not prohibit its own people from participating in gambling. The more Filipino citizens gamble, the more the government will make. In addition, the Philippine government has also made money by issuing casino licenses and issued licenses to many private casinos. Due to the indiscriminate issuance of licenses, competition among casinos is fierce. Some casinos have also taken up the idea of online gambling and online fraud, turning the Philippines into a gathering place for online gambling and electronic fraud.
It can be said that,The Philippines has turned casinos into pillar industries., the government became the biggest bookmaker, and the Filipinos became leeks. In this way, can the Philippines still be governed well?Therefore, the phenomenon of corruption in the Philippines is very serious, public security is undermined, black evil forces are scattered everywhere, black industries are everywhere.
The Philippine Streets
Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos underground casinos are even more overwhelming, the government's control over the local area itself is weak, some border areas are almost illegal, the number of casinos can not be estimated at all, several chess rooms are a casino, many of which are opened in e-fraud parks.
Overall, the casinos in East Asia and Southeast Asia are usually driven by local governments, with the aim of harvesting the high consumer power of neighbors. This is a trick to harm the neighbor's interests, and whoever does not deal with it will suffer.Even Japan and Thailand, which previously banned casinos, have begun to loosen.Japan plans to build its first integrated resort casino in Osaka, and Thailand also passed a parliamentary bill to build it in Thailand1～3The legal casino.
Yellow and Poison, Penetrating Southeast Asia Tourism
The game is over, yellow and poisonous.
Japanese customs industry has long become a major tourist label in Japan, with custom shops, geisha,The number of "men public relations" is large, many international visitors to Japan have to play the card experience, even celebrity star Messi to Japan have to "track" Japan's first man public relations Roland.However, the main customer base of Japan's customs industry is locals.
Japanese town of Tokyo
Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, yellow, poison and international tourism are inseparable.The main reason is that Southeast Asia was once a colony of Europe and America, even after decolonization,It has long been used by European and American guests as a back garden for vacation rentals.European and American customers like to engage in pornography and drug abuse in their own countries, but in Southeast Asia, where prices are cheap, they are even more demanding."Enjoy the flowery world".
Thailand is close to the United States.The trend of "marijuana liberalization" is2022Annually, cannabis is “decriminalized” to suit the habits and needs of the European and American population, followed by:There are many cannabis cafes on the streets of Thailand.
This long-term integration and interaction of pornography, drugs and European and American customers has formed a unique tourist landscape in Southeast Asia. Semi-legal red light districts are common in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines. Police also turn a blind eye to the phenomenon of drug abuse by foreign tourists in bars, nightclubs, and casinos. With the acquiescence and connivance of the local area, pornography, drugs and tourism promote and drain each other.

Relatively speaking, Singapore, with Chinese society, as well as Malaysia and Indonesia, with the majority of Muslims, have stricter controls on pornography and drugs, and there is less chance of the confluence of pornography, drugs and tourism.
Back in China,China's tourism is indeed the greenest tourism industryThe main reason is that China is a big country, and the world manufacturing power,Economic development does not depend on tourism, let alone pornography and drugsAttracting international tourists.On the contrary, the spread of pornography, gambling and drugs will undermine social security, cause corruption in officials, infringe on national health, and breed evil forces. This is the reason why China severely cracks down on domestic pornography, gambling and drugs. There is no chance of pornography, gambling and drugs infiltrating into the tourism industry.
In fact, China's neighboring countries, as a wholeThe more developed the economy, the less the tourism and gambling drug penetrate each other.For example, although Japanese tourism has customs, there is no gambling and it is rarely toxic. Although there are casinos all over South Korea, it only serves foreigners, and South Korea's tolerance for drugs is also very low. Even if Korean artists take drugs abroad, they will face punishment after returning home. Singapore only allows casinos and strictly prohibits pornography and drugs. Per capitaGDP 1.2In Malaysia, which is worth 10,000 US dollars, pornography, gambling and drug abuse are not many. per capitaGDP 7500Dollars of Thailand, per capita5700Dollars of Vietnam, the phenomenon of fusion of gambling with tourism is slightly higher per capita.GDPLess than4000The Philippines of the US dollar,2000Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, below the dollar, belong to the poisoning disaster zone.
It can be said that the Southeast Asian tourism industry and the mutual infiltration of the poison are, to some extent, a relentless choice.It is the result of the joint action of its history, culture, economic status, industrial institutions and poor internal governance.
