TAT Moves Forward with Carbon-Neutral Tourism in Thailand

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is continuing its mission to expand the Carbon Neutral Tourism sector in Thailand, in accordance with the Thai government’s Bio-Circular-Green or BCG Economy Model.

 

TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn stated that the carbon-neutral tourism initiative helps increase the value, creativity, and competitiveness of Thai tourism products and services on the international market. It also boosts Thailand’s attractiveness to environmentally conscious, high-quality tourists.

 

Utilizing tourism resources in a cost-effective manner to maximize benefits, TAT is also working to build capacity, develop and expand carbon-neutral tourism management in a way that is suitable for tourism operators, thereby encouraging participation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Emphasis will be placed on transforming conventional business tourism into low-carbon tourism, with the end goal of achieving tourism with a reduced environmental impact.

 

TAT is now promoting five pilot business units in three business types - communities, farm stays, and smart farms - in the provinces of Phetchaburi, Samut Songkhram, Kanchanaburi, as well as Nakhon Ratchasima, and Nakhon Pathom.

What kind of drugs do these morons take to come up with this daily idiocy?

 

I retired in 1999 and have lived on 4 continents and in more than a handful of locales where tourism was a significant source of income. I was on expat forums in each. 

 

Never have I read such nonsensical drivel until coming here.

An meanwhile, there are Corn Burning fires Annually that choke most of the Country.

Plastic trash being burned every day by many, both private and Corporate.

Poorly maintained Trucks and Tourist Buses belching Diesel Fumes

And on top of all this pollution, lets not forget the dumping of Trash into every Hedgerow and quiet Lane, and the throwing of dirty waste from food stall down into the Sewerage system that spews straight into the Ocean.

Do you all know that Carbon Dioxide is a trace gas. It is not even 1 percent of the atmosphere.

Some countries are charging their people a carbon tax, how ridiculous is that? Now TAT wants to

do something carbon neutral, how nice. It is time for al the BS to end. Just welcome back tourists and treat them

like they help the country by visiting Thailand. Get rid of some of the visa requirements. Make a 90 day vacation

possible without a visa. I am just hoping for a better future for us tourists. It would be nice if the expats could get

a break from the government as well.

Coming in Thailand you get a plastic (????) bag. You can inhale and then you have to exhale in the bag.

There is a problem with this inasmuch that it gives the impression that such a small amount of CO2 is not a problem. It is a big problem and it is getting bigger. Please read the following.

TAT can be trusted.

 

Trusted to actually not achieve anything.

 

Reading this article looks like some jargon filled <deleted>.

Good God man.

Everyone knows paper sandals are useless on water, you need plastic ones.

I suggest you go back to school,  ASAP.

Of that 0.04 around 96% of that is said to be from natural sources with the man made contribution being the rest.

Very tired of this global warming sham. End of the world in 7 years blablabla. They've been wrong on that one for the last 40 or 50 years. 98% of scientist agree huh. It may be the end of the world shortly but only from nuclear winter.

CO2 emissions have doubled since the industrial revolution. They have been increasing at an accelerating pace as we approach the 1.5 degree required limit. Any steps taken, no matter how small and/or painful, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are fine by me.  

What are you doing to help?

Problem isn't volume but potency.

An analogy would be poison.

Inject yourself with a drop of Novichok and you're dead.

Yet that drop wouldn't represent 1% of your total volume.

 

That being said. That entire BCG plan seems extremely boring to me.

 

I remember back in the days, me and a friend of mine got bored in Phuket.

So we paid a bar girl to take us to her village and stay with her family.

She agreed and so we went.

My f*cking god !

After a couple of days, we both got influenza.

Sick, in the middle of nowhere, showering with buckets, sharting in a hole dung in some sort of tiny cabin. Man!

During the night being attacked by mosquitos and Jurassic Park lizards.

Locals didn't speak english.

I don't eat cows! Man made climate change of any great degree is a myth.

I see comedy is alive and well and living in Thailand.

[KhunLA]

Whoa ... tough crowd. 

 

Although, they've been promoting eco-tourism since I've been here, with some successes.  

 

But agree, it is simply regurgitating the same ol'.
