Sustainable M.I.C.E. Events
Thailand has been at the forefront of sustainability in the tourism industry. Incorporate best practices that are respectful, responsible and regenerative. Organize your event with consideration given to the aspects and impacts related to environmental care, social issues, and economic equity,
Practices
Event owners, managers, and service providers share a combined responsibility in adopting and implementing best practices. Be accountable and act responsibly in aspects and impacts that are related to conducting events. Implement and communicate proper policies, processes, procedures, and protocols, to all stakeholders related to the function.
People
Respect for local customs and traditions is key for events to be welcomed, repeated, and scaled. Social issues that events should take into consideration include universal human rights, labour practices across the supply chain, impact on local communities, as well as occupational health & safety measures for visitors and locals.
Planet
Mass gathering can have a significant impact on the environment. Thus, due consideration must be given by event organizers to minimize negative impact. Attention should be given to matters such as usage of resources including energy and water, production of waste including food, carbon emission footprint, and measures undertaken across the event supply chain.
Prosperity
Trips that give consideration to multi stakeholder engagement, will contribute to the economic upliftment of local communities. Support cottage industries, and small & medium enterprises through actions such as gifting locally made souvenirs, sourcing seasonal produce, supporting fair trade practices, will result in a more equitable distribution on income.
