Thai teen Nene Royal's America's Got Talent run sparks tourism hopes
Rattikarn Amloy, a 16-year-old Thai guitarist performing as Nene Royal, has drawn over 200 million views on America's Got Talent's online platforms. Thai officials, including Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, hope her international profile can boost tourism as arrivals run about 3% below last year. Her rise has also lifted business at Thai guitar shops and music schools.
