Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort reaches 200 students with ocean conservation program

Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort wrapped a school outreach campaign that brought marine conservation lessons to six Phuket schools and more than 200 students. The program is part of the resort’s PHIST Sustainability Spotlight Campaign 2026 participation and broader effort to build environmental awareness through education.

Why it matters: - The program targeted students at an early age, aiming to build long-term habits around waste sorting, marine conservation and coastal protection. - The outreach supports Phuket’s broader sustainable tourism push by linking hospitality, education and community action. - Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is using its Marine Biological Center to expand environmental impact beyond guests and into local classrooms.

What happened: - Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort completed its Waves of Knowledge school outreach program across six local schools in Phuket. - The effort reached more than 200 students. - The program was part of the resort’s participation in the PHIST Sustainability Spotlight Campaign 2026. - The Marine Biological Center and Recreation team led visits to Thalang School, Cherngtalay Municipal School (Tantiwit), Baan Bangtao School, Ban Kalim School, Talicpittaya School and Baan Manik School.

The details: - The centerpiece was a workshop called "Trash to Treasure." - The workshop taught students about marine pollution and responsible waste sorting. - Students learned why protecting Phuket’s coastal ecosystems matters. - The sessions used storytelling, interactive games and hands-on upcycling activities. - Students turned discarded marine debris into handcrafted keychains. - The activities showed how waste can be repurposed while reinforcing simple daily actions that help protect the ocean.

Between the lines: - The program reflects a broader strategy common in hospitality sustainability efforts: local education can build credibility while creating measurable community value. - The resort is positioning its Marine Biological Center as a public-facing asset, not just an internal amenity. - The focus on schools suggests the resort is trying to influence behavior before environmental habits are set.

What’s next: - Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort said the Waves of Knowledge program is part of ongoing sustainability work through its Marine Biological Center. - The resort plans to continue conservation initiatives, educational experiences and community partnerships. - The company expects those efforts to support PHIST’s goal of advancing sustainable tourism across Phuket.

The bottom line: - Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is tying its sustainability message to hands-on education, using school outreach to turn ocean conservation into a local community effort.
