Thailand has changed its mind about introducing a tax on tourist departures. The kingdom's Ministry of Finance rejected the collection of 1,000 baht (~2,500 rubles) from each air passenger; They decided not to interfere in the development of tourism and not to increase costs due to the instability in the Middle East. At the same time, the upper tax limit has already been set at 5 thousand baht (12 thousand rubles), in order to increase the amount later without a new vote in parliament. A tourist from Dagestan was sued for 1.3 million rubles for being evicted from a hotel in Turkey. The family bought a tour for four at the Lago 5* hotel for 714.5 thousand rubles, but soon the administration asked to vacate the room due to "violation of the rules of residence" without any evidence. The tour operator put the tourists in a cheaper hotel, but they never found an equivalent substitute; They had to pay for new accommodation themselves. The court recovered from the company the cost of the services not provided (464.5 thousand), a fine, 100 thousand. For moral damage, a fine and legal costs in the total amount of more than 1.3 million rubles. The decision can still be appealed. TG | | MAX.
