Victoria Resorts and Hotels mobilized more than 1,500 volunteers including employees, hotel guests and local people for an environmental clean-up of surrounding areas of its different properties across Vietnam over the weekend.
Victoria properties in Can Tho, Chau Doc, Hoi An, Phan Thiet and Sapa held the annual clean-up to raise the local community’s awareness of keeping their environment clean and green for current and future generations.
Hundreds of employees and volunteers of Victoria Hoi An and Victoria Phan Thiet walked along nearby beaches in central Vietnam to collect plastic bags and rubbish on Saturday.
Victoria staff in Sapa joined forces with local students and adults for garbage collection in the northern tourist spot. Down in the Mekong Delta, Victoria employees in Chau Doc and local students collected waste all the way up to Sam Mountain, which is a well-known tourist spot in An Giang.
Less than 100 kilometers from Chau Doc, the Victoria Can Tho Resort hired around 30 boats from local families for employees and volunteers to climb aboard and collect plastic bags, spongy boards, glass bottles and rubbish floating on the Hau River section and on its banks near the property.
