What happens to the used white linen we collect from luxury resorts and hotels in Da Nang? 🤔 Providing fabric up cycling experience guided activities for international tourists is one of the solutions we have been implementing. Collaborating with our partner, Green Youth Collective and many other organizations in Hoi An, yesterday morning we welcomed a group of international travelers from many countries in the Asian region to Triem Tay Hoi An to participate in experiencing innovative activities focusing on waste reduction, sustainable community development initiatives; including the issue of fabric waste treatment carried out by our disabled team from CORMIS 🌼 For the fabric waste group, this time, visitors were guided by our disabled team to experience different steps of making backpacks, from cutting to sewing, finishing and decorating. The finished products will be given to the Deaf children studying at the Central Center for Deaf Education and Support (CDS) to use in school. Perhaps because they know the meaning of this story, the tourists put a lot of love into up cycling and decorating their backpacks. Many people shared that this was the first time sewing in their lives. We hope CDS children will enjoy receiving these special gifts ❤️ Shared by delegation representatives: our community solutions/initiatives have helped them answer long-standing questions when traveling, for example: what happens to their soap used only a few times after they leave the hotel? Very happy to be part of very meaningful projects for the environment and the community when traveling. Appreciate the efforts and hard work of many years to make these projects happen. Thank you for opening their eyes in many ways. The return of tourism is good news for local economic development. However, how to prevent tourism from causing many problems for the environment and sustainable development of the locality will be a story worthy of attention and proper action. We are happy to be a part of the story of making tourism meaningful.
