Many luxury hotels, resorts nationwide respond to Earth Hour 2021

March 19, 2021 by sggpnews.org.vn

The hotels and resorts will encourage guests, employees and business partners to join several engaging activities in the dark.
Accordingly, the Alma Resort Cam Ranh in the south-central coastal province of Khanh Hoa has mobilized employees to collect garbage on the Bai Dai beach since the beginning of March. A two meter-long fish sculpture will be made of beach waste to remind people about the effect of plastic waste on marine life.
The Anam Resort Cam Ranh will create memorable moments for its guests with romantic candlelight dinners and an outdoor screening of a volume of the wildlife documentary series Our Planet.
The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi will turn off non-essential lights for 90 minutes to raise awareness of the need to act on climate change from 8 pm to 9:30 pm on March 27.

While the La Residence Hue Hotel & Spa in Hue City will cooperate with the Hue Tourism College to organize a piano concert in the hotel on the same day. Participants will form the shape of the number 60+. The hotel will also host a video clip contest on the environmental protection activities to respond the Earth Hour.
Azerai Resort Can Tho in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho and Azerai Ke Ga Bay in Binh Thuan Province will also switch off their lights and appliances to save energy for one hour on the lights-out event.

Launched by WWF, the Earth Hour program has since become the world’s biggest grassroots environmental movement where landmarks and communities switch off their lights simultaneously (8.30pm local time). Many cities all over the world will turn off their lights in response to the program.
The Earth Hour program firstly started in Vietnam in 2009.

IHG Hotels & Resorts reveals guests’ growing passion to travel better

People are more mindful than ever about travelling responsibly following the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals a new global survey by IHG Hotels & Resorts.

The research is part of IHG’s launch of ‘Journey to Tomorrow’, a 10-year action plan comprising a series of far-reaching new commitments to make a positive difference and help shape the future of responsible travel.

Sixty per cent of the 9,000 adults surveyed across the US, UK, Germany, Greater China, the UAE and Australia said that they want to be more environmentally and socially conscious on their travels. This is led by 69 per cent of younger travellers (aged 18 to 24) compared to just 48 per cent of 55s and over, according to the survey.

It appears travellers not only intend to do more for the planet and communities around them, they are willing to pay for it too. The research found that consumers will spend an average of 31 per cent more on accommodation they know operates responsibly – with 51 per cent happy to fork out more than 20 per cent extra a night.

With the world travelling more locally – or not at all – right now, it seems the pandemic has made consumers more mindful about preserving and connecting with the communities around them. More than half of respondents across the globe (57 per cent) said they cared more about doing their bit for local communities and the planet while travelling now than they did 10 years ago. In fact, 46 per cent of people said they are more likely to be mindful about avoiding tourist activities that have a negative impact on the local environment and communities since the global pandemic.

The appetite for better, greener travel is ripe. An incredible 82 per cent of adults around the world said they are committed to taking their everyday sustainable habits with them when they travel, with using the correct waste and recycling disposal for different items taking the top spot as the number one habit.

“As we look to the future, the global response to Covid-19 reminded us what can be achieved when we come together and work towards the greater good. This has made us all more conscious than ever about caring for people, communities and planet. Journey to Tomorrow embodies IHG’s strengthened commitment to make sure we do what’s right, not just what’s needed, and we are determined to contribute towards positive social and economic change, to stand up for key issues such as diversity and inclusion and human rights, and to make more responsible environmental choices,” said Keith Barr, CEO, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has 16 hotel brands and nearly 6,000 properties in more than 100 countries, including 13 in Viet Nam. — VNS

The fresh survey mirrors people’s appetite for better, greener travel

The research is commissioned as part of IHG’s launch of “Journey to Tomorrow”: a 10-year action plan comprising a series of far-reaching new commitments to make a positive difference and help shape the future of responsible travel.

Accordingly, 60 per cent of the 9,000 adults surveyed across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Greater China, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia agree that they want to be more environmentally and socially conscious during their travels. This is led by 69 per cent of younger travellers aged 18 to 24 compared to just 48 per cent of those in their 55s and over.

It appears travellers not only intend to do more for the planet and communities around them, they are willing to pay for it too.

In fact, 46 per cent of people say they are more likely to be mindful about avoiding tourist activities that have a negative impact on the local environment and communities since the global pandemic.

In the survey, 86 per cent of people say it is important to get to know the local community when visiting somewhere new, with two-thirds doing this by supporting local eateries, followed by shopping locally (64 per cent), speaking with the locals (61 per cent), and getting involved with local tours (48 per cent).

As for activities such as volunteering and restoration projects, young travellers aged 18-24 are nearly three times as likely to get involved when visiting another country, compared to those 55 and over.

The survey shows that the appetite for better, greener travel is ripe. An incredible 82 per cent of adults around the world say they are committed to taking their everyday sustainable habits with them when they travel, with using the correct waste and recycling disposal for different items taking the top spot as the No.1 habit.

“Journey to Tomorrow embodies IHG’s strengthened commitment to make sure we do what’s right, not just what’s needed, and we are determined to contribute towards positive social and economic change, to stand up for key issues such as diversity and inclusion and human rights, and to make more responsible environmental choices,” said Keith Barr, CEO, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “A great guest experience at our hotels is inextricably linked to operating responsibly and growing sustainably. So while travel may have been temporarily paused for many, we want the next stage of our journey to be successful in every sense of the word.”

IHG franchises, leases, manages or owns nearly 6,000 hotels and 890,000 guest rooms in more than 100 countries, with approximately 1,900 hotels in its development pipeline. IHG also manages IHG Rewards, a global loyalty programme with more than 100 million enrolled members.

Indochina Kajima starts construction of new resort

Indochina Kajima Development Limited (Indochina Kajima), a joint venture between Indochina Capital and Kajima Corporation, has started construction of a new luxury resort at Bai Nom Beach in the south-central province of Phu Yen.

This is Indochina Kajima’s first major luxury resort project in Viet Nam.

The Bai Nom site includes an entire cove demarcated by cliff and hill-like promontories to the north and the south bordering a spectacular pristine honey-combed beach, opening onto the tranquil, turquoise East Sea perfect for swimming and other water sports, on Viet Nam’s south-central coastline.

The new luxury resort in Bai Nom is the result of a partnership between two prestigious brands: Indochina Capital, the leading developer in Viet Nam’s premier luxury property arena with a portfolio of high-end properties across Viet Nam and Kajima Corporation, one of Japan’s top developers, with luxury properties dotting the world.

The Bai Nom Resort will feature expertly designed residences with exquisite interiors and ocean villas with a private pool, nestled within various leisure and entertainment facilities to offer a world-class holiday experience.

“When we initially envisioned Bai Nom, we thought first of The Nam Hai to create something extraordinary that would make Phu Yen’s coast a premier international leisure destination. When I first saw the Bai Nom site, I was mesmerised: the beach, the water, bordered by the steep cliffs to the north and the rolling hills to the south, just an incredible natural setting with forever uninterrupted panoramic views of the sea and beyond. I knew from that moment that we had found the opportunity to create another hospitality landmark for Viet Nam,” said Peter Ryder, Indochina Capital’s CEO.

The construction and design of the Bai Nom resort will bring together a world-class design team and world-renowned resort operator, following the award-winning blueprint that has proven successful for Indochina Capital.

In addition to Bai Nom, Indochina Kajima is developing 20 Wink Hotels, Viet Nam’s first international hotel brand, made in Viet Nam for Viet Nam, over the next 5-7 years, all part of its initial investment commitment of US$1 billion into Viet Nam, with the first, Wink Hotel Saigon Centre just put into operation. — VNS

Da Nang restarts 1.5 billion USD resort mega-project

da nang restarts 15 billion usd resort mega project

Hanoi – The Da Nang People’s Committee announced on March 30 that a Vingroup mega-project in Lien Chau district worth 35 trillion VND (1.51 billion USD) has been restarted after years of delay.

The Lang Van resort and entertainment project will span nearly 1,000 ha at the foot of Hai Van Pass in the northern reaches of the central coastal city and is expected to further boost local tourism.

An in principle agreement was signed in 2011 between the Da Nang city People’s Committee and developer Vinpearl JSC, a member of conglomerate VinGroup, on the construction of the project, which was then delayed for multiple reasons.

Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Trung Chinh said the Lang Van complex is situated at a location significant in terms of natural resources, culture, and security and defence.

He urged the developer to pay great attention to these elements to ensure the harmonious and sustainable development of not only Lien Chieu district but also the city as a whole.

Locals on tenterhooks as Vietnamese resort developer allowed to use dynamite for site clearance

April 4, 2021 by tuoitrenews.vn

A resort developer in Nha Trang, a beach city in the south-central Vietnamese province of Khanh Hoa, has been permitted to level a hill with over 64 metric tons of dynamite, which sparked concerns among residents living nearby.

Residents in Thanh Phat and Thanh Dat Villages in Phuoc Dong Commune, Nha Trang City have sent letters to local authorities to express their complaint and worry about the implementation of the Haborizon resort and villa project on Hon Ro Mountain.

Many people living near the foot of the mountain stated that their houses have sustained multiple cracks and often shake whenever the dynamite explodes.

Others said their roofs have been damaged by the use of the explosives.

The project developer previously sent some people to check the affected houses, but no solution or compensation has been suggested.

The locals also complained about air and noise pollution as many excavators start operating from 2:00 am every day, while many large trucks carrying soil and rocks often travel through residential areas.

A ditch was already dug up to discharge wastewater from the construction site down to the neighborhoods at the foot of the mountain.

A large volume of water often washes downhill during heavy downpours, as trees have been chopped down to make way for the construction.

The Gioi Xanh Company, the developer of the Haborizon project, was granted an investment permit in January 2018.

The project covers an area of more than 24.16 hectares on Hon Ro Mountain, including 9.8 hectares of protection forest.

On September 14, 2020, the Department of Construction in Khanh Hoa Province allowed the developer to use 64.5 metric tons of explosives and 20,000 detonators of all kinds to destroy part of the mountain and make way for the construction.

Meanwhile, the Nha Trang People’s Committee stated that the construction method causes a very high risk of landslides, especially during torrential rains.

The administration added that the project does not fit in with the development master plan of the city.
