Did you know an ASEAN public toilet standard is set to be in place by december 2015,as part of the ASEAN tourism strategic plan 2011 – 2015 ?

The quality Tourism Working Group, one of the three new working groups is in charge and is forming a public toilet standard team. We are pleasantly surprised that toilets in ASEAN have made it to the masterplan, a reflection that the blueprint may be very comprehensive. For now,however, our pressing problems is finding the toilet in this centre from our press room. After a long search passing narrow alleys, we finally found it…. This is  from TTG ASIA on Issue 1 of the Official ATF Daily News.

For Asians is the asian toilet no problem – but we europeans, australians  and americans are happy that somebody is thinking about this special problems. If the plans coming true, the ASEAN countries have done a good project for their foreign tourists and visitors: no more kneeing or standing – only comfortabel seating ! very relaxing !
