Andamanda Phuket promotes sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. Partnering with the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation, we held a Sea Turtle Release event, rehabilitating and releasing 10 turtles, and raised 200,000 baht in support of marine conservation.

A Vision Rooted in Sustainable Tourism

Guided by its corporate vision to grow sustainably across all dimensions of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), Proud Group aims to set the benchmark for quality tourism that is responsible to the planet — balancing long-term business growth with the preservation of natural resources for generations to come.

Go Zero Waste, Save Our Ocean Project2026-1

Highlight Activity: Returning Ten Sea Turtles to the Wild

This year, the project will host its signature event — a release of 10 sea turtles back into the wild on Saturday, 25 April 2026, from 09:00 to 10:00 hrs, at the Wedding Pavilion, InterContinental Phuket Resort by IHG.

As part of the event, Proud Group will present a donation of THB 200,000 to the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation, raised through Reefuel drinking water sales and a curated collection of eco-friendly merchandise — including reusable cups, Sarang-Pu" fisherman dolls, sea turtle bracelets, sea turtle keychains, and dugong- patterned hats.

The activity is made possible through close collaboration with the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR), via the Upper Andaman Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center, whose expertise ensures every turtle is fully prepared for release. This cross-sector partnership advances tangible conservation outcomes — increasing sea turtle survival rates and strengthening the long-term resilience of marine ecosystems.

Building on Four Years of Progress

Since its inception in 2022, the "Go Zero Waste, Save Our Ocean Project" has steadily expanded its impact. In 2024, the project successfully released 5 sea turtles back into the wild — three in the first release and two in the second — contributing to the recovery of marine ecosystems in Phuket. The initiative also champions plastic reduction through its Reusable Cup campaign, with proceeds and ongoing support from Andamanda Phuket channeled directly into long-term conservation efforts.
