Veteran ice sculptors Kusol Bunkobsongserm, Amnoaysak Srisuk and Kritsana Wongtes created the three-cubic-metre "Future in our hand" sculpture with the theme of responsible tourism at the 47th Sapporo International Snow Sculpture contest at Odori Park on Hokkaido island. So we want to use this opportunity to remind everyone once again about this global issue," said Mr Kusol, the team leader. Seksan Sripraipan, Tokyo-based director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said Thailand's snow sculpture reflected the impact humans have on the environment and also emphasised Thailand's beautiful marine attractions.
