HCM CITY (VNS)— Caravelle Saigon is the first property in Viet Nam to receive an EarthCheck Gold Certificate 2015, making it a leader in the worldwide group of sustainable tourism operators.

The hotel has over the years made many efforts to create distinctive records, such as resource-saving and recycling as well as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects that call on the public to keep the place we live in clean and green.

EarthCheck is the world's leading certifier of sustainable travel and tourism businesses with an internationally recognised standard, benchmarking and certification programme.

The EarthCheck Gold designation is conferred after five years of continual assessment by a third independent auditing party that adheres to EarthCheck Company Standards. — VNS
