Description
Summary:This study is a research project that aims to gain a deeper understanding of perspectives, barriers and difficulties that might have an influence on the sustainable event development in Thailand. Primary research data were collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders involved in Thailand's sustainable event development. The results reveal that, at present, although both government sectors and the private organization are involved in promoting sustainability in the event industry in Thailand, there is still an essential necessity for more widespread environmental education and course curriculum. By increasing knowledge and understanding, obstacles identified by interviewees may be eliminated.
