The Official Launch of Cleaning Halong & Lan Ha Bay
On September 28th, 2023, the highly anticipated launch of the “Cleaning Halong – Lan Ha Bay” project was a resounding success. This initiative brought together dedicated employees from Viet Star Cruises, the company behind Capella Cruise, along with representatives from several travel agency partners.
A Response to Super Typhoon Yagi’s Aftermath
This project was born in response to the severe environmental impact caused by super typhoon Yagi. The team behind this initiative understood the importance of swift action to mitigate the damage and promote recovery. The launch event marks the beginning of a month-long campaign that not only focuses on cleaning up the bays but also aims to raise community awareness about environmental protection.
Building on the Success of the Ecomastery Project
The “Cleaning Halong – Lan Ha Bay” project builds upon the foundation set by the Ecomastery Project, a pioneering sustainable tourism initiative led by Capella Cruise. Through the Ecomastery Project, Capella Cruise has consistently engaged in activities that promote environmental conservation, and this latest effort is a continuation of that important work. In the past, the activity of Earth Hour 2023 received passionate participation of 95% guests on that day.
Spreading Awareness for a Greener Future
The project’s mission goes beyond the immediate task of cleaning up the bay. It seeks to inspire both local communities and visitors to adopt eco-friendly practices, fostering a culture of sustainability in the region. With the support of travel agency partners and other stakeholders, the project is on track to create lasting change.
Small Actions, Big Changes
At Viet Star Cruises, we believe that small actions can lead to significant transformations. The successful launch event has paved the way for more participation from the public. This campaign will be lasted till the end of October 2024. As part of our broader sustainability efforts, we invite guests and visitors to join future clean-up activities, so together we can restore the emerald beauty of Halong and Lan Ha Bay.
As tourism continues to thrive in these iconic bays, it’s crucial that we all play a part in preserving their natural beauty. With ongoing support from our partners and community, we’re optimistic about the future of sustainable tourism in Halong and Lan Ha Bay.
Join us in our efforts to keep Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay clean and green. Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved!
