Rising Trends in Conscious and Wellness Travel
As tourism bounces back, travelers are embracing a fresh sense of responsibility in the way they travel – creating lasting memories and leaving lesser carbon footprints. A report from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and the Trip.com Group underscores this trend, highlighting that an impressive 69 percent of travelers have made it a mission to explore sustainable travel avenues in 2023. This also perfectly aligns with the flourishing wellness tourism sector, as an increasing number of travelers opt for activities that enrich their overall well-being.
At Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô, these trends aren’t just short-lived fads; rather, they form the very essence of the experiences it offers. Spread over a whopping 240 acres, and covered at 97% by endemic vegetation, the resort creates an avenue where exploration is directly synonymous with sustainability and holistic well-being.
Every corner of the property exudes a sense of purposeful harmony. The surroundings invite you to slow down and connect with the environment in a meaningful way. Travelers find themselves cultivating a lifestyle that marries the thrill of discovery with an enduring commitment to preserving the natural surroundings.
The Construction Odyssey: Balancing Elegance, Earth and Wellness
Embedded in the grandeur of Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô is an exquisite balance of comfort, intimacy and sustainability. From conceptualization to construction the property has been fully committed to environmental preservation. Architects, engineers, landscapers and developers were thoughtfully chosen, ensuring they uphold the same principles and integrity to create a resort that seamlessly complements the lush vegetation of the south-central coast, without causing any degradation.
The result is an architectural wonder that’s in perfect harmony with the surrounding beauty of Phu Yen, embodying understated luxury that captures the essence of the land.
Villas rise on wooden stilts, a homage to the landscape and traditional Vietnamese architecture from the Ede and Chams, offering not just accommodation but an immersion in nature’s embrace. This philosophy extends to the Bà Hai restaurant, an architectural finesse that’s built on stilts with grass, bamboo, and wood from the Central Highlands named “Gỗ Chò Chỉ" (Parashorea Chinensis), a fragrant evergreen tree that is resistant to the moisture in Vietnam’s humid forests.
Nurturing Nature with the ‘Nursery'
Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô takes its commitment to nature a step further through a groundbreaking initiative—the ‘nursery.’. This ambitious endeavor cultivated 30,000 shrubs, 20,000 grasses, 600 trees and over 500 palm trees, all nurtured on-site. More than just a horticultural feat, this project served as a home for the regions’ diverse wildlife and native flora. With a profound respect for water conservation, the use of drought-tolerant plants showcases an unwavering dedication to sustainability. Preserving the existing vegetation on-site was a paramount consideration, leading to the successful restoration of 6 hectares of greenery.
Beyond the ‘nursery,’ the resort has also set ambitious goals to propel its sustainability mission forward. It aims to reduce water and energy consumption yearly by 2%, single-use plastics by 50% by 2025, diversion to landfill yearly by 2-5%, food waste by 30%, and greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions by 45% by 2030 (based on the set out quantitative measures). Additionally, the resort is striving to obtain 10% of its food supplies through “farm to table” concepts over the next five years and source at least 80% of its food locally from producers and suppliers in the region.
This unwavering dedication to sustainable management, fostering positive social and economic influences, preserving cultural heritage, and safeguarding the environment has led Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô to receive the Green Globe certification in February 2023.
