Message from the Governor of the

Tourism Authority of Thailand
Dear Readers,
Every year, the hotel business is a par t of the service sector which plays an
important role in generating a large amount of income for Thailand. However, at
present, while global warming results in climate change and there is an increase in
severe disasters, international tourists have become more concerned about the
significance of the global warming effects. Therefore, entrepreneurs of hotels and
other forms of accommodation, besides focusing on the business benefits, have
paid more attention on the campaign for decreasing the effects of global warming
and protecting the environment. This in turn tends to be the first alternatives for
tourists who would like to visit Thailand.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is aware of the effects of global warming,
and has been supporting the supporting the operation of green hotels around
the country which can provide visitors with a memorable impression and satisfy
their needs. In this regard, TAT, in cooperation with the Green Leaf foundation and
Red Mango Company Limited, has published the guidebook, Green Hotels & Resorts
Thailand, with the hope that this would be beneficial for all stakeholders in the
tourism industry, visitors, and the interested public.
On this occasion, I would like to thank all hotels and resorts for their cooperation
and participation in this campaign, and we wish the promotion of green hotels
would contribute to environmental conservation and the growth of sustainable
tourism in Thailand as well.

Message from the President of the

Message from the President
Today, global warming has become a pressing issue affecting all people and
economies. Immediate action must be taken to protect our natural resources and
Green Leaf Foundation safeguard our future.
The tourism industry acknowledged that it has an impor tant par t to play in
reducing emissions and acting in a responsible and sustainable manner. As a result,
several Thai and international organizations joined hands to establish an important
environmental initiative called The Green Leaf Foundation. Partners who worked
to create the foundation include The Tourism Authority of Thailand, Electricity
Generating Authority of Thailand, Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, United
Nations Environment Program, Thai Hotels Association, and the Association for
Development of Environmental Quality. From the outset, the intention was to set
clear standards for hotel and tourism operators in order to help them implement
a good code of practice, save energy and conserve the environment.
The main activities of the Green Leaf Foundation focus on mitigating and adapting
to climate change by saving energy in accordance with government policy. The
foundation is united in its goal to find the best environmentally friendly solutions
for the hotel and tourism industry. Part of the initiative is also the Health Promotion
Hotel Programme which not only implemented a smoke free environment for
hotels but also actively promotes health tourism across the entire industry.
