Green Logistic

With Green Logistics, Thailand encourages eco-friendly means of transportation.

Thailand’s tourism authority raises awareness of eco-friendly transportation solutions by encouraging travelers to change their mode of transportation. The change in travel behavior can support a more efficiently use of energy and a switch to alternative energy.Also operators are encouraged to use eco-friendly public instead of private transportation.

Various projects have been successfully implemented to reduce energy consumption. One example is the “Travel by Train" initiative - a cooperation of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the State Railway of Thailand (SRT). The project was convenient, safe and saved energy. Other examples are the BMTA’s Temple Tour or Ratanakosin Cultural Trail.

Next to public transport, travelling shorter distances by bike is another option that is not only eco-friendly but healthy. Attractions should provide tourists with more information on ways to get there and make the suitable decision.
