From the organizer: Hospitality actors stand up for the planet!
A step towards reducing the environmental footprint of the tourism industry, which is currently responsible for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
The event will take place on June 5th, 2018, between 5pm and 7pm, at Caravelle Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. It will be the opportunity for hospitality stakeholders to discover practical tools to take immediate action & inspiring eco-responsible initiatives, and to share with other concerned actors ideas to make the industry more environmentally friendly.
The event will particularly host the official launch of 2 great initiatives to help hospitality actors take concrete first steps in Vietnam:
• The Eco-Guide for Hospitality Businesses & Schools: this is a complete, hands-on guide published by ASSET-H&C, containing more than 50 “recipes to minimize your impact on the environment while saving costs”. It showcases good practices implemented by hotels and restaurants around the region. The guide will be officially available to be downloaded FOR FREE as of June 5th and will be launched at the same moment in all ASSET-H&C countries: Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. The more it will be shared, the bigger the impact!
• Refill Not Landfill in Vietnam: this initiative fighting against single-use plastic bottles, which was born in Cambodia, will officially make its entry into Vietnam during the event, with some first official hospitality partners (TMG Hospitality group and The Organik House restaurant) joining for the country. Christian de Boer, co-founder of the initiative, will be there for that occasion.
