Natalie Phaholyothin, CEO WWF Thailand (left), will be joined by other key contributors, including Vojtech Vegh, Zero Waste Culinary Advisor to Winnow (centre), and Eric Ricaurte, CEO of Greenview (right).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA key voice at PHIST 2025 will be Natalie Phaholyothin, CEO of WWF Thailand, who will participate in a panel discussion on marine conservation. She hailed the importance of the event as a way of inspiring positive action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPHIST is more than a conference \u2013 it\u2019s a catalyst. It unites people who are not afraid to challenge the status quo. In fragile ecosystems like our island regions, this kind of collaboration is urgently needed,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s event will also focus on the critical issue of food waste. A dedicated farm-to-table zone will showcase local producers and chefs working together to celebrate Thailand\u2019s food culture through sustainable sourcing. A compelling food waste presentation by Vojtech Vegh, Zero Waste Culinary Advisor to Winnow, will talk about \u201cThe Black Truffle Mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFood waste is one of hospitality\u2019s most overlooked problems, but it\u2019s also one of the easiest to solve,\u201d said Vojtech. \u201cThrough smart kitchens, better measurement, and chef-led change, we can slash waste and costs while improving the guest experience. I\u2019m thrilled to be part of a movement that puts solutions front and centre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond panel discussions and presentations, PHIST 2025 will bring sustainability to life through interactive and engaging experiences. The next generation of hospitality professionals will be given a voice through a workshop led by students from Dusit Thani College, and a fashion show will spotlight eco-conscious designers who use ethical, upcycled, and plant-based textiles. A large-scale green exhibition will also feature over 35 booths, showcasing solutions ranging from water-saving technologies and plastic-free amenities to intelligent energy and green certification services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other topics to be covered at PHIST 2025 include climate resilience, regenerative tourism, ESG in MICE, circular economy models, smart technologies, and innovative accommodation concepts such as off-grid retreats and glamping. The overall goal is to move beyond sustainability theory and provide tools and strategies for fundamental transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greenview CEO Eric Ricaurte returns to PHIST to lead sessions focused on data-driven strategies for enhancing hotel efficiency and reducing carbon footprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PHIST 2025 is free to attend for all, making it an ideal event for hospitality professionals, students, and sustainability advocates. The event is supported by Pan Pacific Hotels, Winnow, Luxury Escapes, Tuu, Delivering Asia, QUO, SaiYok Springs, and many of the region\u2019s most forward-thinking hospitality brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
