Phuket Hotels for Islands Sustaining
Tourism Forum 2018 (PHIST)
Monday, 24 September 2018
JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa
Time: 12 – 6pm
1. OVERVIEW
PHIST is the first of its kind, an innovative event rallying the hotel industry and its stakeholders to discuss
environmental sustainability and community benefit. With over 500 delegates, the event will be held on Monday,
24 September 2018 at JW Marriot Phuket Resort & Spa, with partners and other stakeholders also organizing
affiliate events and meetings in tandem. The day will have an exhibit hall and offer attendees a mix of short expert
panels and quick topical talks, covering areas of destination development, ocean health and impacts, corporate
hotel sustainability, community tourism, and global trends on sustainability and mass tourism. In addition, longer,
technical workshops and roundtables will be held to convene the wider audience of hotel staff. Speakers will be
mostly from international organizations and their regional representation from outside Phuket, but all gearing their
content on the discussion for Phuket to apply best practice and opportunity.
Organised by The Phuket Hotels Association and supported by the Thai Hotels Association, the Phuket Hotels
Association is a non-profit organization with over 60 member hotels and resorts, comprising small boutique hotels
to large luxury international chains who have joined together to promote Phuket as a destination, together with a
number of important activities, each with its own working group of General Managers that oversee the following:
Environment & Sustainability; Education and Destination Marketing.
2. BACKGROUND
Travel and tourism have grown immensely and will continue to do so. We are in a new paradigm where we must
control tourism and not just promote it. Examples of extreme environmental degradation, overcrowding, and public
outcry among residents are emerging across the world as tourism backlash. 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.

12pm Exhibitor Hall Opens
1pm to 2:30pm Concurrent Workshops and Roundtables
Workshop A: Inside the Hotel Kitchen – reducing food waste and food cost, and sourcing sustainably
Learn about best practices and trends in reducing food waste in hotel kitchens together with peers in F&B
through an initiative where World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the American Hotel and Lodging
Association (AHLA), with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, came together to work with the hospitality
industry on understanding and reducing food waste. Combining research and a series of demonstration
projects with properties, innovative strategies were identified to engage staff, partners and guests in cutting
waste with participating hotels obtaining reductions of 10-38% in just 12 weeks. WWF will share its free toolkit
and insights, along with resources and tips on sourcing seafood sustainably and helping reduce deforestation
with responsible palm oil purchasing.
Workshop facilitated by the World Wide Fund for Nature
Workshop B: Plastic Reduction – Practical Action
Plastic has always been a problem for our planet, and awareness is now helping hotels take action. Learn
about the best practices locally and regionally resulting from a pilot program with the US Embassy and the
Phuket Hotels Association covering an in-depth site study and collaborative workshop held across dozens of
hotels in Phuket. Specific actions taken, solutions found to challenges in managing plastic procurement and
waste, and guidance for undertaking a similar exercise to reduce single-use plastics in your hotel will be
presented.
Workshop facilitated by Dr. Marissa Jablonski, USAID / DCHA Bureau Environmental Advisor and former
Embassy Science Fellow at the U.S. Embassy in Thailand undertaking the plastic reduction project with the
Phuket Hotels Association
