Accessible tourism operators are urging the Tourism and Sports Ministry to turn Thailand into a destination friendly to disabled and elderly people by setting a long-term action plan and prioritising this agenda.
"If Thailand wants to make tourism a crucial economic driver and expand its presence on the global stage, we must not leave behind disabled people or seniors," said Jittasak Putjorn, an assistant professor at Silpakorn University who is conducting research into the development of Thailand as a "Tourism For All" destination.
