The 27th of September, 2008 marked another milestone for the Katathani Phuket Beach Resort as Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Suchart Vikittipong, cordially accepted an Award for Outstanding Performance at the 7th biennial Thailand Tourism Awards in Bangkok. The Katathani obtained this award in recognition for outstanding quality and reliability of tourism services, proudly presented by Mr. Weerasak Kowsurat, Minister of Tourism and Sports.
This occasion marks the second consecutive Award for Outstanding Performance (for more than 80 rooms, Southern Region) that the Katathani has received from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, following the previous acceptance by owner and CEO, Mr.Sombat Atiset, in 2006. These prestigious awards recognize achievements in competitiveness, quality management and excellence in standards of service, contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural resources, and support for sustainable tourism development.
The awards are statuettes of the Kinnari, a half-lady, half-bird mythological figure featured in ancient Thai literature, representing perennial beauty and exaltation. The Kinnari holds a lotus in one hand, while a pigeon is perched on the other. The lotus symbolizes purity at the highest esteem, and the pigeon represents peace, brotherhood, and harmony in nature.
