Surapong Techaruvichit, president of the Thai Hotels Association, said the impact of Monday's attack was expected to be short-lived.
"If Thailand cannot swiftly restore tourist confidence, we'll see significant hotel room cancellations in the next week or two," he said.
In the first seven months of this year, average hotel occupancy in Bangkok was 70%, up from 50-60% in the same period last year.
CCT Group president Vichit Prakobgoson said his company had received many phone calls from Chinese customers about the situation in Bangkok, but only a few had cancelled tours.Tourists using travel agents' tour programmes can cut activities from around the Ratchaprasong area, he said. If the government can control the situation, CCT is confident Chinese tourists will be back within a momth.
"After the blast, sales at restaurants and pubs in the Khao San area dropped by 70%," he said. If the government cannot arrest the bomber, businesses on Khao San Road will face a gloomy situation for at least a month, as people are concerned about their safety.
