Bangkok, 18 February 2025 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) proudly announces the return of PELUPO 2025, Thailand’s premier sustainable music festival, taking place on 14-15 March at Treasure Hill Golf Club in Chon Buri. This year, the festival strengthens its commitment to sustainability, having been awarded the STGs STAR Certificate by TAT for its environmentally responsible and socially impactful initiatives.
Aligned with TAT’s 17 Sustainable Tourism Goals (STGs)—developed in accordance with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals—PELUPO’s recognition within the Sustainable Tourism Acceleration Rating (STAR) system highlights its leadership in Good Governance, Social-Economic Impact, Cultural Preservation, and Environmental Conservation, ensuring responsible festival management, community support, cultural promotion, and eco-friendly initiatives such as waste reduction, plastic-free policies, and carbon offsetting.
Further cementing its sustainability leadership, PELUPO received the All At Once Sustainability Award last year, an accolade recognising venues, festivals, and promoters excelling in waste reduction, plastic-free initiatives, energy conservation, and climate solutions. This recognition reinforces PELUPO’s pioneering role in sustainable festivals, setting a benchmark for Thailand’s responsible tourism efforts.
