Phuket: A group of tourism entrepreneurs and locals on Nai Yang Beach in Phuket Province have collaborated to promote sustainable tourism by transitioning from the traditional practice of walking around turtles to releasing them back into their natural habitat.
According to Thai News Agency, this initiative aims to support the local ecosystem and ensure the well-being of the turtle population. By releasing turtles back into the wild, the group seeks to create a more environmentally friendly tourism model that respects and preserves the natural balance of the area.
The initiative reflects a growing trend in the tourism industry towards practices that minimize environmental impact while still offering unique experiences to visitors. The organizers believe that by focusing on the conservation of local wildlife, they can attract tourists who are interested in supporting sustainable and eco-friendly activities.
