Preserving the earth and ensuring a better future for generations demands adopting sustainable practices in all aspects of life. In tourism, this means embracing eco-travel and ethical tourism to minimize environmental harm, promote cultural sensitivity, and support local communities. By prioritizing sustainability, we protect not only the planet but also the unique destinations we cherish.
Anya Resort in Tagaytay exemplifies sustainable tourism principles. As a proud member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) and certified by Green Destinations International, the resort implements eco-conscious practices. Resort Manager Melody Amor Amacio highlights their initiatives, including prioritizing local employment, sourcing from nearby communities, and cultivating an in-house sensory garden with herbs. On-site recycling efforts are enhanced by the help of domesticated animals.
During the holiday season, Anya Resort elevated sustainability through its Puso ng Pasko local market (November 15, 2024, to January 11, 2025). Featuring the CaFFEE (Cavite Family Farmers and Earthkeepers), the market offered locally grown produce, artisan goods, and workshops on cheesemaking, kakanin preparation, and beekeeping. This initiative not only supported Cavite’s farmers but also educated visitors on sustainable living.
Beyond Chilling Big Time
