Phuket Old Town set to lead as Thailand’s first carbon-neutral historic area

On November 24, 2024, the Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation (STDF), in collaboration with public and private sectors, officially launched the Phuket Old Town Carbon Neutrality 2030 project, an initiative that positions Phuket’s historical district as Thailand’s first area to commit to achieving carbon neutrality.

Endorsed by Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the project aims to transform the Old Town into an international model for sustainable tourism while serving as a pilot for reducing carbon emissions across the province.
