At Atnal Lanta, we believe that travel should enrich both the traveler and the destination. Nestled in the heart of Koh Lanta, our eco-friendly and budget-conscious hotel is dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism practices that protect our environment, support local communities, and offer authentic experiences to our guests.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Thailand's tourism industry has faced challenges due to overtourism, leading to environmental degradation and cultural disruption. In response, the Thai government has implemented several initiatives to promote sustainable tourism, including:

• Banning Single-Use Plastics: All 154 national and regional parks have prohibited single-use plastics to reduce waste and protect ecosystems.

• Closing Overcrowded Destinations: Popular sites like Maya Bay have been temporarily closed to allow for ecological recovery.

• Promoting Community-Based Tourism: Programs that involve local communities in tourism planning and benefit-sharing are being encouraged to ensure that tourism supports local economies and preserves cultural heritage.

How Atnal Lanta Contributes

As part of our commitment to sustainable tourism, Atnal Lanta has implemented several eco-friendly practices:

• Energy Conservation: We utilize energy-efficient lighting and appliances to reduce our carbon footprint.

• Waste Reduction: Our hotel minimizes waste through recycling programs and by reducing single-use plastics.

• Supporting Local Communities: We source products and services locally to support the economy of Koh Lanta.

• Eco-Friendly Transportation: This year, we encourage guests to use public transport or bicycles to explore the island, reducing emissions and promoting healthier lifestyles.
