Think Green Go Clean

Livelihood - Cultural Identity - Environment

‘Think Green Go Clean’ is Asiana Travel Mate’s theme to address livelihood, cultural identity and environmental issues in Vietnam… a banner to rally pragmatic and responsible action, within our spheres of influence.
CYCLO COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Cyclo (Xích lô) Vietnamese term for pedal power, three wheel, passenger carriage
The Cyclo Community Outreach Program is a non-profit initiative of Asiana Travel Mate for the improvement of their livelihood prospects and to support their children’s education. Customers should be treated politely, honestly and have an enjoyable ride. Touring Hue with cyclos will also reduce smoke and noise pollution besides preserving a part of Vietnamese culture.
“Our growth in the tourism industry should involve the community. Besides, it is also environmentally friendlier to tour Hue with cyclos. We hope to improve their interactions with tourists and will support a core group that will be honest, reliable, know some basic English and not harass tourists.”
Andy Nguyen, CEO Asiana Travel Mate
