On September 26, at the Avani+ Riverside Hotel, Bangkok, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in partnership with leading international sustainable tourism organizations, hosted a high-impact seminar titled “Action Alert! Accelerating Towards Sustainable Tourism in Thailand.” The event was organized to help Thai tourism businesses prepare for the impending environmental regulations set by the European Union, which are expected to come into effect within the next two years. More than 1,000 tourism operators attended.

BANGKOK, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mr.Teerasil Tapen, Deputy Governor for Digitalisation, Research and Development, underscored the importance of sustainability as a prerequisite for global business partnerships. He highlighted that under the new EU regulations—the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)—companies will need credible sustainability management systems to maintain business ties with EU and U.S. partners.

“Sustainability is essential for market access.” — Mr. Teerasil Tapen, Deputy Governor for Digitalisation, Research and Development

“Sustainability is essential for market access.”

“These regulations will demand that Thai operators comply with strict sustainability standards by 2026 to be ready to report by 2027. Those who fail to meet these standards will be at a disadvantage in accessing key markets with high purchasing power,” said Mr.Teerasil. He further noted that eco-conscious travelers will increasingly demand sustainable practices, further intensifying the need for compliance.

In her keynote address on “Sustainable Tourism Worldwide and Regulatory Changes: The Survival of the Thai Tourism Industry,” Asst.Prof.Jutamas Wisansing Founder of Roaming Elephants, stressed that adaptation to sustainability is non-negotiable for the future of the Thai tourism industry. “Sustainability is not an option, but a necessity.” “Global regulations are evolving quickly. Adopting sustainability standards presents a critical opportunity for businesses to enhance their value and attract environmentally conscious travelers. Collaboration between businesses and regulators is key to ensuring a smooth transition,” she added.

The panel discussion on “Certification Process and Criteria: How to Achieve It?” featured leading experts who discussed the pathways to certification and market entry for sustainable tourism businesses.

“Follow the certification steps to access global markets.” Peter Richards, from the SWITCH-ASIA TOURLINK Project, explained the step-by-step certification process, detailing the different formats and criteria for achieving sustainable tourism certification. He urged businesses to approach certification systematically to maximize global market opportunities.

“Data-driven transparency is essential for credibility.”

Ms. Pinpinat Chaiyadej, representative of Earth Check, emphasized the role of data transparency in building credibility. She noted that sustainability data management is crucial in demonstrating a company’s commitment to environmental responsibility. “Today’s travelers demand transparency from tourism operators. To meet this demand, organizations must adopt a data-driven approach to track, report, and continuously develop their sustainability efforts,” Ms. Pinpinat explained.

“Sustainability requires respecting local ecosystems and communities.”

Asst. Prof. Dr.Kaewta Muangkesom, representing Green Destinations, highlighted the importance of understanding and respecting local environments, communities, biodiversity, and cultural diversity. She advocated for the integration of sustainability principles into business operations to create positive impacts on both the environment and society.

“Sustainability certification offers a marketing advantage.”

Mr. Anupong Kriangkrailipikorn, Managing Director of Search Engine Optimization Co., Ltd. and founder of Gother.com, noted that sustainability certification is becoming a key marketing advantage. He emphasized that modern travelers see sustainable tourism as a way to contribute to a better future. “Sustainable practices are no longer just a competitive edge, but an essential feature for operators seeking to attract the next generation of travelers,” he remarked.

The Action Alert! seminar marked a crucial turning point for Thailand’s tourism industry. Sustainable tourism is no longer a voluntary choice but an urgent necessity. Thai tourism operators must align with international sustainability standards to remain competitive and foster a new ecosystem defined by Sustainable Certified Operators, ensuring long-term success in the global market.

Companies, in Partnership with InsurTech Israel, Host Second Annual Global Event at Holmes Murphy Headquarters

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Holmes Murphy and BrokerTech Ventures are excited to announce they will be co-hosting the second annual Rapid Global Insurtech Accelerator (RGIA) in partnership with InsurTech Israel. The RGIA will bring 14 insurtech startup founders from across the globe — representing six of seven continents — to Holmes Murphy’s headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, November 11-14, 2024.

Kobi Bendelak, CEO and Founder of InsurTech Israel, created the premiere program in 2023 and hosted the inaugural event in his home country of Tel Aviv, Israel. Bendelak says this year, they chose to hold the event in Des Moines as the ideal U.S. location not only because the city is an insurance and financial services hub in the country but also due to Holmes Murphy’s headquarters and extensive operations in the city and state.

“I’m consistently in awe of the incredible work Des Moines and the greater state of Iowa have done in the insurtech space,” said Bendelak. “Couple that with our connection between Holmes Murphy, BrokerTech Ventures, and InsurTech Israel, and it’s amazing how we’re able to further strengthen ecosystem ties and build relationships in the global insurance industry. Our relationship with these companies and the state of Iowa is a testament to the power of collaboration, transcending personal, business, and international dimensions.”

The foundation and purpose of the RGIA is to build upon the global insurtech ecosystem and not only provide mentorship and business support to accepted global insurtech founders, but also open the door for the global insurtech founders to experience how business is done in the U.S. marketplace.

The startups coming to Des Moines from Africa, Australia, Ireland, Latin America, and beyond will be bringing a diverse range of commercial solutions and technologies with them. As Iowa remains at the forefront of insurtech and the insurance industry, the state, region, and city of Des Moines have been instrumental in bringing this event to life. 

“I am inspired by the commitment of our friends and business partners in the Central Iowa insurance community, as well as the state of Iowa, to help InsurTech Israel bring together the best minds in insurance and technology and bring to market trailblazing solutions,” said Bendelak. “Their efforts to drive innovation in the global industry further cements Iowa’s position as a powerhouse for insurance technology.”

“With both Holmes Murphy’s and BrokerTech Ventures’ headquarters in Des Moines, our collaboration and partnership with the RGIA is a natural fit,” said Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy Chairman and CEO and BrokerTech Ventures Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “Our goal will always be to bring to market solutions that help our clients identify risks sooner so they can drive down costs faster. We believe insurtechs all over the world have technologies that can help us do that, and we are committed to elevating and supporting them for the greater benefit of all stakeholders.”
