Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Chief Executive Officer, King Power Group reveals "King Power is determined to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives under the 'KING POWER THAI POWER' concept to create useful activities for Thais and to drive Thailand's economy, society and environment. Supporting the Minister of Tourism and Sports policy, we together aim to reflect positive image of tourist destinations among Thai and overseas tourists and to focus on enhancing public facilities as part of our local tourism revolution. The drive will improve local community's living standards and give local tourism more boost. 'Palang Khon Thai, Sukha Sukjai' a 10 Million baht project funded by King Power Group for building 70 restrooms nationwide, is intended to elevate the standard of public utilities in local community tourist destinations."
Working hand in hand on this project, King Power and related government sectors have explored new opportunities, developing innovative solutions that enable comfortable utilities for Thais and tourists. Restrooms are basic necessities and is also one of the key factors to create good impressions at tourist destinations. Guidelines were established to ensure equal access to public facilities and services to people with disabilities. Our project sets out design and customized engineering standards to make sure that good-quality and safe restrooms are accessible to men, women and disabled people.
Mr. Weerasak Kowsurat, Minister of Tourism and Sports said "Tourism in local communities is continuously expanding. We need to proactively develop these communities and its utilities in every aspect especially restrooms and toilets. Aimed at boosting tourism in local communities in a long term and lifting the sector's contribution to economic growth, clean, hygienic and handicapped-friendly facilities are urgently needed. We hope to complete this project by end 2018."
