The Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA) will attend the WTM

Travelers are looking for ways to explore and experience, with a smaller carbon footprint and fewer impacts on the environment. However, identifying low carbon activities can be confusing.

The Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA) will attend the WTM to promote 20, new carbon light travel routes around Thailand. These routes weave hands on local experiences, eco-exploration and local insights across Thailand.  If your company sends travellers to Thailand, these routes can help to reduce your emissions inside Thailand, without reducing the experience!

The carbon footprint of each route has been calculated. Routes are designed to reduce carbon emissions, with remaining emissions offset locally, inside Thailand, through local Thai projects, under the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO).

Carbon Neutral Thai tourism routes?

Since 2020, the Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA) have worked with Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO), Program Management Unit for Competitiveness (PMUC) and Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI) to design and develop fun, inspiring new tourism routes; reducing and offsetting carbon emissions using local Thai offsetting schemes. The EU SWITCH-ASIA Tourlink project brough together European and Thai carbon experts, to compare and align methods for calculating the carbon footprint of Thai tourism itineraries. Mutual recognition of the TGO system by Carmacal adds international credibility to the Thai tools, while enabling carbon offsets to directly support local, Thai projects.
