Tourism goes green in Thailand – Transforming into an eco-friendly destination

Since tourism is one of the major sources of income for Thailand’s economy, the industry also provides many opportunities for the destination to transform into a sustainable one for both locals and visitors. As per statistics from Sustainable Travel International, the tourism industry is responsible for about 8% of the world’s carbon emissions. Thailand is focused on becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2050; therefore, those operating in the tourism sector are taking measures to begin this process.

Phuket seems to be getting a head start on transforming itself into an eco-friendly destination. Soon, Bangkok and other cities and islands of Thailand will also follow. What any hotel in Sathon Bangkok will have to focus on, apart from going green, is maintaining the quality of service during this transition. Popular hotels like Chatrium Residence Sathon Bangkok will be expected to maintain the level of quality service while working on their green approach.
