Travel x Sustainable
UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) defines sustainable tourism
“Currently responding to the needs of our visitors, industry, environment and the communities that host them.
As the host of this inn, I am still learning.
Knowing that taking care of the local community, saving energy, and reducing waste will lead to sustainable tourism, we are starting to do what we can, such as saving water and electricity, eliminating plastic, and picking up trash.
guest house owner
I love traveling and have traveled Japan, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and in recent years, I like the beaches of the Philippines and Vietnam.
I reflects my travel experiences in the accommodation.
”I don’t need a gorgeous hotel, I just want a spacious,clean and private space,”
”I want to do my laundry for free,” etc.
I created a comfortable space for travelers.
If you like nature and calm places, I am confident that you will like this place.
