These groups will actively participate in the project, collectively announcing the Pattaya for All Project. Sermsak Pongpanich highlighted the significance of this initiative.

“Today marks a major step in promoting the tourism business in Chon Buri province under the Tourism for All project. Our goal is to create opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, age, or physical condition, to access tourist attractions in Pattaya conveniently, safely, and fairly. This aligns with international guidelines for sustainable tourism development, ensuring no one is left behind.”

Tourism for All aims to design and enhance the environment to support tourists of all ages and physical conditions. This includes improving buildings, tourist attractions, and services such as hotels, restaurants, and shuttles, ensuring they meet international standards for accessibility and safety.
