We\nmight as well start with the obvious – choosing a green Phuket meeting hotel\nwill naturally make your event more eco-friendly as all of the facilities that\nhotel provides will be low-impact. This could range from sustainable waste\nmanagement to low-energy light bulbs – it all helps!<\/p>

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMinimise\nsingle-use plastic<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n While\nPhuket meeting hotels are already leading the charge on this, minimising the\nuse of single-use plastics at your event is a simple but effective way to\nincrease its eco-credentials. This means no disposable straws, plastic water\nbottles, plastic spoons and so on. All of them can be replaced with reusable\nversions – metal or bamboo straws, glass water bottles, metal spoons, etc.<\/p> Go\ndigital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There\nare plenty of materials that you commonly see at events which could be replaced\nwith digital alternatives. Printed handouts and programmes can become PDFs,\nvinyl banners become computer or TV screens, and so on. And that\u2019s just the\nsimple stuff – if you\u2019re feeling a bit creative, you could help your event\nstand out for its innovative use of technology.<\/p> Minimise\nfood waste<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning\nthe catering for an event is always a challenge and most events err on the side\nof excess. Unfortunately, that means a lot of waste. Consider asking your\nPhuket conference venue to cut down the quantities a little to reduce the\ngreenhouse gases released by rotting food waste. It\u2019ll cut down the cost of the\nevent and it\u2019ll also help the attendees stay focussed instead of getting\nsluggish after an excessively heavy midday meal.<\/p> Add\na carbon offset fee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As\npleasant as it is to travel to a Phuket conference venue, the flights and taxi\nrides to get you there pump a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.\nFortunately, there are plenty of initiatives around the world which will plant trees\nor invest in renewable energy sources to offset the carbon your attendees are\nadding to the atmosphere. A small addition to the ticket price in order to do\nsome good in the world is unlikely to raise too many objections.<\/p> With the trend towards eco-friendliness, having a sustainable event at your Phuket conference venue is as much a good marketing move as it is a generally good thing to do. Helpfully, plenty of Phuket meeting hotels are leading the initiative by taking steps to protect the island\u2019s natural beauty. However, there are still a few…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[5,3],"tags":[42,130,131],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Main-Pic_Blog_Temp.jpg?fit=1200%2C717&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
