A full-colour illustrated handbook of good practices for tourism operators has just been published in Thailand. "Sustainable Tourism Management in Thailand: A Good Practices Guide for SMEs" has been designed to help hotels, restaurants, nature and culture-based activity operators take easy steps towards sustainable management.

The guide comprises tips on how to lower electricity and water consumption, manage waste in an eco-friendly way, and interact positively with local communities.

The bilingual book, in English and Thai, is a joint publication by the Environmental Research Institute of Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok (www.eric.chula.ac.th) and the Bumi Kita Foundation (www.naturalguide.org).

To request a copy, free of charge, e-mail to saengrawee.t@gmail.com (PDF versions are also available).

Since May, the university and the foundation have delivered a series of successful best practice workshops in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Khon Kaen.

The best practice initiative receives funding from the European Union (EU).
