Thailand’s summer has officially arrived and forecasters are predicting it to be a hot one. As the capital heats up, people are looking to Thailand’s popular coastal resorts such as Phuket to escape and enjoy some fresh air and cooling sea breeze.
Travel Sustainably this Summer
At the same time, with an increasing awareness of overtourism and pollution, travellers are conscious about their impact on the local environment. Phuket’s popularity as Asia’s number one resort destination sees millions of domestic and international visitors who are not only choosing to enjoy the island’s relaxing vibe and architectural splendors, they are also opting for a more environmentally positive and sustainable stay.
A study by end-to-end travel platform, Airbnb, found that significantly less energy and water is used, and fewer greenhouse gases are emitted, when guests use Airbnb listings rather than traditional accommodations offerings, and 72 percent of Airbnb guests say the environmental benefits of home sharing were of at least some importance in their choice of Airbnb.
