RE:EARTH Thailand Koh Samui

RE:EARTH Thailand Koh Samui
Join the Reearth festival if you would like to make a difference and give something back as a traveler!
One small step can lead to big change!

The Reearth festival wants to increase the awareness and promote a better understanding that environmental conservation can be undertaken hand-in-hand with travel.

The Reearth festival and its partners are taking an active role in the efforts to restore, rehabilitate, protect and preserve the natural environment.

Locally at Koh Samui and its neighboring islands, the main concern is the lack of sufficient drinking water during tourist seasons, deteriorating coral reefs and floods due to erosion caused by increased development.

Social and ecological responsibility are added to the equation that already includes all the great things that made the 2010 party a huge success. Last party saw 3000 people at the venue.
In Feb 2011 the festival is held daytime as well as nighttime with more activities including a 4-day volunteer program.

We all know that tourism is essential for the economy in many areas around the world.
Tourists and travelers are needed as well as a healthy environment. Sustainable
tourism is the only way forward.
