170 Thailand III. THE PROPOSED PROJECT A. Objective and scope Due to significant discrepancy in economic status between the rural and urban areas, new ICT projects should be implemented and geared at the grass-roots level. Rural people should be encouraged to operate the projects and acquire business management skills. The proposed project has three components. They are: 1. Telecentre – business centre focusing on the activities at home, or used as community centre. 2. Tourism information network – consists of back office and front office systems. Data will be sent to the operation centre at the Prime Ministers Office for analysis. 3. Human network – includes the government, private sector (travel company), educational institutes and local community. The project will be implemented as a pilot programme in villages across five regions of Thailand. Specific criteria to evaluate the standard of the home stay accommodation such as clean water, clean room, point of sales (e.g. One Tambon One Product (OTOP), activities) will be devised. Training courses, including ICT training, will be provided according to the needs of the villagers, and the standard of the home stay services. The number of potential villages will be about 3,000 villages located in 7,400 districts that have high potential to serve as tourist destinations. B.
