Bangkok, Thailand – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and makers of Dettol disinfectant Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) certification programme.

The company will also help enhance the international awareness of the Amazing Thailand SHA logo as being a global health and hygiene standard via its website, www.reckitt.com, and social media networks in several countries around the world.
To promote safe travel conditions during the Songkran 2021 holiday period, Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) is giving away 200,000 pieces of Dettol antiseptic products at Songkran event areas in Bangkok and several other provinces, including Ayutthaya, Buri Ram, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Lampang, Nong Khai, and Sukhothai.
Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) is also offering special packages for businesses certified with the Amazing Thailand SHA, including special discounts on antiseptic products or health and safety guides for tourism-related small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Mr. Rohit Jindal, Managing Director, Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand), said, “The COVID-19 situation prompts everyone to recognise the importance of health and safety standards in the new normal. With tourism being Thailand’s main economic driver, Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) is ready to support the TAT’s policy and strategy to ensure a consistently high level of health and hygiene standards for all involved in the Thai tourism industry.”
