Hello friend,

Thank you for joining us at AST Forum Phuket at PHIST earlier this month.

If you’d like to revisit the solutions to the water and plastic crises in hospitality discussed during the two panel discussions, we encourage you to read the full recap on our website.

Our speakers are happy to address any further questions you might have.

At our core, we believe that in-person meetings are invaluable for building meaningful connections and sharing best practices.

However, we are highly aware of the environmental impact that travel, particularly flying and driving, has on our planet, primarily through the release of fossil fuels that accelerate global warming and contribute to air pollution.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Breeze, a pioneering tech solution in responsible tourism, to calculate the approximate CO2e emissions generated by the AST Forum Phuket (details below).

Measuring is the first step toward reducing our carbon footprint, and it’s a responsibility we take seriously.

While we have worked with OneSeed since the inception of our company to plant one tree for every AST Briefing subscriber, we can always do more.

»»» We do not typically recommend offsetting as the go-to solution as many programs are opaque and ineffective. What else could we do? Investing in removing existing CO2e from atmosphere? Tell us what you think.

Following the AST Forum Phuket, our team embarked on an exciting journey across Thailand to uncover the country’s best-kept sustainable travel stories.

Along the way, we visited some of Thailand’s most storied hotels and lodges, and sat down with leading sustainability-minded hoteliers, chefs, marine biologists, and conservationists to capture their insights.

We will share these stories with you as we approach the year’s end.
