global GDP. Yet, it also has a substantial impact on the
environment. According to the UN, if we continue with our
current patterns, by 2050, tourism could lead to a massive
increase of 154% in energy consumption, 131% in
greenhouse gas emissions, 152% in water consumption, and
251% in solid waste disposal.

 As the world emerges from the pandemic, destinations across the globe
are seizing the opportunity to reboot their tourism industries—with a
focus on sustainability. One of the countries leading the charge in this
endeavour is Thailand—and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)
in particular—which has charted a path based on the ambitious Bio-
Circular-Green Economy (BCG) Model. This strategic development
plan focuses not only on tourism but also on renewable energy, food,
and healthcare; encouraging these four industries to collaborate for
mutually beneficial outcomes. In the holiday sector, the goal is to be
environmentally conscious, and foster unforgettable experiences for
tourists while bolstering local communities.
