Quang Nam is the first province in Vietnam promoting the 'Zero Plastic Waste Tourism' campaign, starting from 2019, with 44 hotels, homestays, villas and restaurants committed to reducing their plastic waste.
In boosting green tourism as a unique attraction, the central province of Quảng Nam has introduced the Silk Sense Hội An River Resort as the first ‘zero plastic waste’ destination to expand its sustainable hospitality brand.
The resort is a trailblazer that has been building chemical-free low carbon infrastructure, with renewable energy while composting kitchen waste for years.
Chairman of the resort Trần Thái Do said that the ‘green’ target was planned a few years ago as the province ignited a tourism ‘go green’ campaign. Do said the resort cooperated with a partner to set up a low-energy kitchen waste composting system in processing organic waste into nutrient humus for a non-chemical garden.
Visitors will be given reusable canvas bags, a recycled product or environment-friendly gift as a ‘green’ memory of the resort and their ‘waste-free’ holiday.
