Caring for destination

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  


The inn has taken considerable steps to function in harmony with its surrounding environment, with strong attitudes toward recycling and re-use.


Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 


The inn has invested in water treatment and sewage and leads all of its used water to the front of the inn, to prevent sewage from being dumped in the river. The staff take time to sort trash; organic waste is delivered to the community's pig farmers. Fruits and vegetables are bought from nearby communities, generating local jobs and income.
