Caring for destination

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  


Environment - conservation and education.


Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 


Venti and his family long ago realised their envornment was very special. They have made an effort to keep their region untouched following logging consessions along the Kolombangara coastline . Venti has taken a keen interest in birds and takes guests on walks to observe the endemic and rare species. In this way, Venti nurtures environmental understanding through education. The knowledge that visitors retain from a visit to Hambere Village Stay can become part of a bigger international picture on conservation advocacy.
