Sustainable Tourism Initiatives

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is spearheading efforts to position Thailand as a global leader in sustainable tourism through innovation and digital transformation. At the ITB Berlin 2025 event, TAT showcased its initiatives, including Carbon Neutral and Net Zero Tourism programs, which aim to balance tourism growth with environmental responsibility. These efforts are supported by collaborations with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI) and the Thailand Science, Research, and Innovation Promotion Fund (TSRI). TAT's strategy integrates science-based solutions and digital innovation to reduce the tourism sector's carbon footprint while promoting eco-friendly travel experiences. The organization also leverages Thailand's cultural "Soft Power" to attract high-value travelers and ensure long-term benefits for local communities and businesses.

TAT's initiatives extend across all 77 provinces of Thailand, focusing on major cities and key destinations. The organization employs a multi-level engagement strategy, including Nation-to-Nation (N2N) collaborations, Organization-to-Organization (O2O) partnerships, and Organization-to-Business (O2B) initiatives. These efforts are further strengthened by research partnerships with universities and experts, enhancing Thailand's competitiveness in sustainable tourism. By combining environmental responsibility with economic opportunities, TAT aims to create a resilient tourism industry that aligns with global sustainability standards. Through these measures, Thailand is set to become a leading hub for sustainable tourism in Asia.
