ABOUT PHIST
https://phist.phukethotelsassociation.com
PHIST (Phuket Hotels for Islands Sustaining Tourism) is a sustainability forum that rallies the hotel industry and its stakeholders to discuss governance, environmental sustainability, and social impact.
PHIST 2018 was attended by 567 attendees across South East Asia. Attendees include executives, General Managers, owners of hotels, government delegates and representatives from the non-profit sector. In 2019, PHIST will be held on Monday, 23 September and will target a total of 1,000 attendees across South East Asia. The event would offer attendees a mix of workshops, short expert panels, and thematic discussions, covering topics including destination development, hotel sustainability governance, sustainability marketing, and global trends on sustainability. Speakers will be a mix of industry experts from both local and international organizations. The conference day will also feature an exhibition area, showcasing sustainability products and services.
WHY ARE WE HAVING PHIST?
Travel and tourism have grown immensely and will continue to do so. It is our responsibility to educate and not just to promote the destination. Examples of extreme environmental degradation, overcrowding, and public outcry among residents are emerging across the world as a tourism backlash. In recent years, we have seen the closure of destinations especially islands to protect the eco-system, despite the risk to tourism revenues and tens of thousands of jobs.
Below are some islands and beaches closed due to over-tourism and degradation of natural resources and environment
- Boracay (April-October 2018)
- Maya Beach in Koh Phi Phi (June 2018 – 2021)
- Koh Tachai (October 2016)
However, the increased awareness of travelers, business, and government together can work to scale solutions. In Phuket as well as other destinations in Thailand and the region, we now have a choice as an industry: either exacerbate the negative effects of tourism and risk losing market share, or leverage the opportunity for tourism to contribute to sustainable development, environmental protection, and collective impact for its local communities. The day will explore the challenges and opportunities for hotels to turn the negative into a positive.
