Trat creates safety standards plan for Ko Chang

Trat province has created a safety plan to elevate precautions on the tourist island of Ko Chang in efforts to create confidence amongst travelers.

Deputy Governor of Trat Chalor Baicharoen stated during a meeting of the Ko Chang Tourism Safety Commission that accidents statistics on the island, despite being relatively low, had an adverse impact on the tourism industry of the destination.

In an effort to improve the island's image in the coming fiscal year, the commission has created a safety standards plan that will be handed out to security volunteers operating on Ko Chang.

The plan includes improvements of tourist facilities as well as the establishment of aid centers. Officials hope to see a drop in accident figures once the plan is up and running.
