PATA Releases New Report on Tropical Coastal Cities’ Sustainable Tourism Development - TRAVELINDEX

PATA Releases New Report on Tropical Coastal Cities’ Sustainable Tourism Development - TRAVELINDEXSanya, China, November 20, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / The development of sustainable tourism in tropical coastal cities rests on four key pillars: proper resource management, harmonious coexistence between locals and residents, diversification of the economy and tourism products, and successful implementation of sustainable practices across the private sector.

These principles are spotlighted in Developing Sustainable Tourism in Tropical Coastal Cities: Global Case Studies, the latest publication from Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), released on November 18. The report was launched in conjunction with the 2025 Tropical Coastal City Tourism Event, a platform dedicated to advancing knowledge and collaboration among coastal destinations, organised by the Sanya Tourism Board and supported by PATA.

“Coastal areas, particularly in tropical regions, are among the most critically threatened by climate change,” said PATA CEO Noor Ahmad Hamid. “According to the World Meteorological Organisation, sea-surface temperatures in the South-West Pacific reached unprecedented levels in 2024, while ocean heat content was close to record highs. Other manmade threats — from careless actions to high volumes of visitors during peak seasons — are also putting severe pressure on the ecosystem.”

He added, “In the face of such challenges, PATA believes that collective progress must be driven by knowledge-sharing and coordinated action. These were the principles that underpin the creation of this report. We are honoured to share our findings and collected insights at the 2025 Tropical Coastal City Tourism Event to emphasise both the urgency of the issue and the power of collaboration.”

The report outlines obstacles faced by tropical coastal cities, as well as strategies that balance economic growth, environmental conservation and socio-cultural sustainability under the four aforementioned pillars. It also provides valuable insights into successful case studies of tropical coastal cities which have integrated sustainable tourism development into their operations.

Examples of Featured Case Studies

Sanya: The Protection and Restoration of Marine Environment

Wuzhizhou Island established Hainan’s first national-level marine ranch demonstration zone to restore coral reefs and fishery resources while enhancing the marine ecological environment. The island also operates a comprehensive waste management system to protect the marine environment and eliminate sea pollution.

Scientists have developed patented technologies to restore coral reefs and improve the reef ecosystem, helping to replenish marine life populations. For its efforts, the island has been designated a “5A” tourist destination and recognised as a “Zero-Waste Tourism Attraction” in Sanya. It also serves as a coral reef restoration base for the UN COP15 Youth Biodiversity Expedition in Hainan.

Thailand: Water Resources Management

Thailand began to establish a comprehensive database to identify and differentiate the water demand of the commercial tourism sector and residential households. Water reserves will be provided during peak demand periods in the high tourism season.

In addition, Thailand is conducting campaigns to promote water conservation and has implemented fiscal measures to impose higher utility rates for water usage. The restoration and conservation of local ecosystems in their special zones was ensured to support water absorption and mitigate urban flooding within the Bio-Economy and Green Economy framework.

Indonesia: Energy Consumption, Waste Reduction, and Innovation

Desa Potato Head Resort has 168 rooms and three goals: to be zero waste, to be sustainable in a beautiful way, and to be part of the regeneration process. To develop an Environmental Management Program, Desa Potato Head works with Eco Mantra, an eco-engineering consultancy, to implement footprint measurement, efficient resource management, foster green company culture, etc.

The resort achieved a 97.5% recycling rate with only 2.5% of waste ending up in landfill in 2023, plans to install solar power to reduce energy consumption within its facilities, and created a new technology called Styroshell to recycle styrofoam and produce amenities such as soap dispensers, tissue boxes, and trash bins.

Developing Sustainable Tourism in Tropical Coastal Cities: Global Case Studies is the 18th report published by PATA this year, which includes the Association’s flagship forecast reports, the Annual Tourism Monitor reports, as well as the Halal Travel Trends Report and the Human Capital Development report released earlier in 2025.

These publications align with PATA’s strategy to broaden the generation and dissemination of timely research and insights that address critical priorities for the industry, including climate change, regenerative and responsible tourism, and emerging trends and challenges shaping the future of travel.

Seychelles Tourism introduces Clear Boats for Marine Excursions - TRAVELINDEXSeychelles, East Africa, November 16, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Clear Boat Seychelles is now offering a unique and intimate way to explore the underwater world of the Sainte Anne Marine Park in Seychelles.

Their fully transparent boats allow guests to admire the marine life and coral formations directly beneath them as their excursion boats glide across the clear waters. The experience is calm, scenic, and close to nature — with the option for guests to snorkel during the tour for an even more immersive encounter with the reef and marine species.

The idea for Clear Boat Seychelles was born from our love for the ocean and the desire to share its beauty in a more accessible and engaging way. We wanted to create an experience that feels personal, relaxed, and memorable — giving both visitors and locals the chance to connect with the marine environment in a meaningful way. What began as a small, heartfelt initiative has now become one of the must-do marine experiences in Seychelles.

Our standard tour runs for 90 minutes and includes guided commentary about the Sainte Anne Marine Park, its history, and its ecosystems. Guests often encounter sea turtles, schools of colorful fish, rays, and coral formations. Throughout the journey, we also highlight the importance of marine conservation and responsible enjoyment of our natural surroundings.

We pride ourselves on small group sizes, a friendly and knowledgeable crew, and quality service that focuses on comfort and authenticity. Our goal is to provide an experience that is not only enjoyable, but unforgettable — something guests talk about long after they’ve left the islands.

Clear Boat Seychelles has become a signature activity for visitors seeking something unique and memorable. We welcome partnerships and collaborations that help us share the beauty of our waters with a wider audience while promoting sustainable marine tourism.
