Chiang Mai Positions Itself as a Green Destination
· 50-word read
In 50 words
The Amazing Chiang Mai Green Guide Fest is promoting sustainable tourism through local products, regional gastronomy, cultural performances, business networking and environmentally responsible event practices. The three-day programme aims to connect visitors with community-led experiences while strengthening Chiang Mai’s ambition to become a recognised international destination for greener travel.
Why it matters
Sustainable tourism can help Thailand attract higher-value travellers while distributing revenue among local communities and reducing tourism’s environmental impact.
What's next
Success will depend on whether sustainable practices move beyond festivals and become measurable standards for hotels, attractions, tour operators and travellers.
