In this episode of Did You Know…?, we dive into a revealing study that asked 18 boutique hotel managers in Phuket what’s really stopping them from adopting sustainable practices.

Tune in to hear what “green hotel” really means behind the scenes, why some sustainability initiatives flop despite good intentions, and what might actually help smaller hotels embrace eco-friendly practices.
If you care about sustainable travel, this episode offers a rare, insider look at the hospitality industry’s biggest challenges—and how we might move forward.
