This project focused on revitalizing the economy of Amphawa, Thailand, by promoting sustainable tourism practices. The community faced a downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating a transformation in its weekday tourism industry. Our project aimed to redefine Amphawa's appeal by emphasizing environmentally friendly tourism. Through partnerships with local businesses, we advocated for sustainable activities aligned with ecotourism principles, aiming to boost the economy while preserving the environment and local culture.
