If a movie show a place in one or more cities, that could a promotion for that place because people will curious how if they are in that place and doing the same thing as the actors. That could happen too with Thailand if Melco Resorts can expand their casino empire in that place. Thailand as a place that have many tourists every year will be the next destination for the gamblers to playing gambling. So that movie can influence the tourists to comes to that place. Hopefully, the government will support and make a law for the casino so the government can also gets additional tax from the gambling business.
That is smart idea about movies helping tourism. When movies show nice places it makes people want to visit them. If Melco Resorts builds casinos in Thailand it will bring in more tourists and people who like to gamble. Thailand is already popular place to visit and casinos would make it even more attractive. This could be great way for government to make extra money from taxes. Hopefully government will help and control casino business so everyone benefits.

As for online casinos, it seems to me that they take a share of players for themselves every year and it is not necessary to go to another country to go to a casino. Maybe for the sake of interest someone will want to find this place, but it seems to me that I have not heard of such a phenomenon as tourist vouchers to casinos (except for Las Vegas). Actually, I have never had a desire to find a place from the film, I do not see any point in it.
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?
That's how it always worked, who knew Coca cola but they reached every corner in this world by promotion and in the same way if the show is mostly gonna be tailored in a way that it should attract more people into gambling then it will, not all but definitely more with that promotion. Also the media can influence as well as manipulate to whole extent that what we thing of a particular gambling whether it's gambling or romancing it's all in their hands and we could be played a lot by toys. hero member

Thailand is country that has quite lot of places that can be visited by foreign tourists and with the development of gambling legality to the existence of several large casino industries, it will also be very profitable for the government and most of the population there.
I didnt visited Thailand yet but if indeed they are swarming with Foreign tourist then likely it will click. Especially the Western people who grew up around many places with casinos like Las Vegas surely they look for something similar and if they found or seen some good places in the movie which is on Thailand probably they hang out there. 
If we talk specifically about Thailand, then this is a place where thousands of tourists come every year and pour good money into its economy. Thus, a place that is intended for rest and entertainment will always try to "turn out the pockets" of its guests as much as possible, and the casino with its bright advertising will be one of the most visited places. People are ready to spend money, and this often happens during vacations. If we talk separately about films that vividly show the life of a casino, then in my opinion, only people with good capital will go on a trip for the sake of playing in famous casinos. All the rest will come either together with a vacation or with those who live nearby. But of course, the interest of the public in watching movie will be even greater if people have the opportunity to check everything with their own eyes.

I think if you can influence a government through a show or a TV series, then it's time to change that government.
but I'm just surprised though that Thailand who is a conservative Asian countries are willing to open up 5 casinos.
Well it is still on the talks. Nothing is set to stone yet and there is a possibility it might not actually happen. But Thailand seems to be visiting the idea of tourists going there for gambling. I think it is okay to separate religion and economic interests for the benefit of the country.Right, but usually when this news comes around, for sure 99% of it will happen though. I mean it involves Billions of investment from this casinos so there's no way that the government of Thailand will back down on negotiations. It could also bring thousands of jobs to Thai, so it's a win win situation for thtem.
And as you have said, Thailand is one tourist destination, and so with that if they have casinos, they can multiple the tourist that will go to their country as they could also stay and enjoy on the hotel resorts that Melco companies are going to build in the country.

A special event or filming place also makes someone curious when watching it until finally they themselves will take the time to come and visit it, moreover for rich people who like to gamble must always have the desire to be able to have more experience by playing in various large casinos that are more popular.

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.

If the government allow the casino to operate in that country, the government can impose tax to that so that will be additional income for the country. A show or a movie can attract more visitors to come to the country as that can makes them to have the different experiences of playing gambling in a casino that they watch in the movie.
A show or a movie can influence the government perception so they can adjust their law based on the situation. If they can invites more businesses to their country, that means the government will get more taxes.

It's a means for advertisement,a revenue for patronage and tourist legalization.The Thailand government have decided to legalize gambling in her country;Gambling is a fast growing business currently,and an income generating tool for the owners.Although,Despite the negative effects it hovers around,which the governments are aware of,they would focus more on achieving visibility and marketing/ advertising purpose.
Gambling casinos attracts gamblers and Thailand is an attractive place for fun and enjoyment,I believe since it's a tourist country, attracting gamblers to themselves is going to be an exciting journey.

I'm sure that the perceptions and decisions made by the government will not come from TV shows, the government has its own reasons why they make gambling legal in their particular areas. Maybe it's because of their weak natural resources, or other reasons. However, because it's for the purpose of developing an area, they legalize gambling to get taxes from there. After all, what perception there's of gambling depends on each individual. It's made for fun media, so I don't think the media has a big enough influence to change perceptions.Let us face the fact that gambling will give them very good revenue within their jurisdiction. And with the rising number of tourists, definitely, it can generate more numbers in terms of profits. Though there is no direct relationship about the decision of the government with respect to shows, movie or other media influences, they somehow based on the profitability of the business with respect to location.
It's crazy how much it's changed here in the United States. Growing up gambling ( like Marijiuana ) was a huge no no, and you were just a terrible person if you did either. Now they are both legal. Every other commercial whether it be on the radio or on television is about a casino or gambling or where you can find the nearest slot machines. I love it, I'm all for an open market of this type, but it's going to make a lot of poor people even more poor, but hey.

Be aware that this governments is made up of normal humans as we are too, so the perception of their titles does not make them resistable to be tempted or maneuver. Infact. The same governments of capable to accept bribery can as well get lured by the casinos if chances to benefit them be. They would definitely sell off their personalities and get lust of the prizes involve.There are many ways by which one can get influenced over the gambling and it is either by content creation of what we normally find interesting in our daily lives that is mixed with the scripture of casinos.
In such case, we might actually think that we would do very good on that aspect of we tend to play along with the real life gambling accomplices with the tips of speculations or adverts on the social networks.
They are predicting that with the release of the new season of the series The White Lotus, set at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand, that Thailand will be visited by more gamblers. Melco Resorts is looking at Thailand to further expand their casino empire and believes that a popular show can invite and entice tourists into visiting Thailand and its casinos and resorts.
And what is new about it? Visiting the locations of film sets as a tourist and even planning a vacation particularly to visit one is a thing. In fact. I think it happens WAY more often than we imagine.They are making any location look nice or interesting at the very least in the movies. I can imagine then why people are doing this and willing to visit them, even if most often reality does not look as nice. After all, we do not do colour grading through our eyes nor do we look at the set from the same angles. But then their 'prediction' is even more silly. If I was a gambler and I saw the movie as very interesting, particularly the casino, then is it not pretty obvious that I would want to visit it?
Did the Bitcoin City not receive way more visitors once the story went live than before that?
Thailand is doing well. They know their strength and that's with tourism, cheap things and favorable for tourist visitors.
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?
Possible, as long as there's a good feedback from the crowd then it might be considered as something beneficial not only for the industry but also for the government's revenue.Or do you think the impact of a film or a show isn't enough to sway people?
It shouldn't be thought of. There will be people that are for sure going to have frown on this kind of film but it doesn't matter because life moves on and there will be people that are optimistic about such films related to gambling.

Some are gambling because of the motivation received from the action movies and shows they have been attending, so we cant say for that a show in the cinema is affecting the patronage of the people towards gambling, instead it increases on their interest to gamble the more as they get new ideas and motivations right form the movies watched from some of these shows, therefore, it is important that we realized that shows can encourage for more active gambling, because through movies we learn on new ideas and techniques in which we may also try to adopt on the pattern of how we are gambling.

People look out for different things in different movies, a photographer for instance may be looking at the movie and looking out for angles, or pictures ideas, an animator or designer, watching for ideas, so also a serious gambler. If a serious gambler who is a tourist too comes across a movie where a famous casino in the location that there are about to visit is showcased, there will certainly be high interest to visit if possible, not the same for just someone who wants to just enjoy the movie, and does not care much for gambling, even if the casino is shown in all scenes of the movie, they will still not be influenced to visit even if they are touring the location.

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.
