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:  

Local employment and contributions to the local economy

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Big Lyna Villa is a small locally owned and managed guesthouse that actively employs local people, uses locally produced food and sources the majority of its supplies locally. Hence, Big Lyna Villa directly supports other local businesses and has a positive knock-on effect on the local community.

Additionally, the local employees coming from poor families in the provinces receive a fair salary, free boarding as well as extra language classes.

For a real local shopping experience, get up before the sun breaks and ask one of the staff to come along to the local markets to buy fresh fruits and vegetables when it is really bustling.
