Summary and Comment• Resort construct and design for many years ago, resort’s room can improve and add more

accessible facilities to the room. Re design the furniture plan. Start to improve the accessible room with 2 or 3 rooms first.

• Resort’s can provide the mobility ramp that will be the solution in case of PWD stay and take a vocation at the resort when PWD check out mobility ramp can take away.

• The atmosphere of resort suitable for relax and take a sigh seeing around so it be better if the side walk surface should have improve and provide some part of sidewalk to the wheelchair, bicycle way with the smooth surface and put more periodically view point.

• Transportation be the one of accessibility priority that resort should consider. Accessible transportation transport customer from the resort’s room to resort dinning room. And transportation van with lift to serve PWD.

• Resort’s executive boards have the strategy in term of improve the un accessibility facilities around the resort for People with disabilities and elder the goal is be the place for rest and activity for all.

• Basic infrastructure of the resort is well for PWDs to take a vocation, there are some part that DPI/AP team and resort research together to improve.
