Originating from a Love for Hoi An

On a calm afternoon, as the golden sunset gently stretches across the ancient streets and the iconic silk shops of Hoi An, an idea was born from the deep love and respect for this land by the “Hoi An locals” Silk Sense is a story that begins with a love for silk, as well as a convergence of the traditional culture of Quang Nam’s silk craft and the luxurious riverside relaxation space by the Co Co River.

This was the beginning of Silk Sense – a brand with a great mission: Not only to provide an exceptional resort experience, the top choice for accommodation when visiting Hoi An, but also to contribute to preserving and developing a green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly Hoi An.

Pioneering a Zero Plastic Waste Resort

On September 9, 2023, in Hoi An City, Quang Nam Province, Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort officially announced that it is a Zero Plastic Waste Resort, no longer emitting plastic waste into the environment or using single-use plastics.

Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort is constructed on only 30% of its total land area, with the remaining space devoted to a fresh and green environment. This Hoi An Beach Resort currently uses bamboo, wood, paper, and biodegradable materials instead of single-use plastics and glass water bottles. It also owns and cares for a Caman garden to self-supply green vegetables and herbs, and maintains a saltwater pool without using chlorine, among other sustainable practices.

According to Mr. Tran Thai Do, the investor of Silk Sense Resort, the resort has pursued an “Environmental Protection Journey” since its inception. With a focus on sustainable development, Silk Sense has employed environmentally friendly materials and implemented programs to reduce plastic waste.

Silk Sense has established specific criteria and solutions to eliminate plastic waste entirely. To date, the resort has completely eradicated plastic waste emissions and no longer uses single-use plastic items.

“This action is not merely about protecting the environment but also opens up significant opportunities for sustainable tourism. We believe that demonstrating social responsibility and creating a sustainable business model will not only attract responsible tourists but also contribute to building a Green brand for Vietnam’s tourism industry” – Mr. Tran Thai Do shared.
