Launched in 2017, Blue Swallows has been the\nfirst program in Vietnam to build, accelerate, and recognize business\ninitiatives for social change. It promotes entrepreneurial spirit and\naccelerates innovative and scalable business solutions which are making\npositive contributions to environmental or social outcomes critical to the\nsustainable development goals. This year, Blue Swallows focused on sustainable\nagriculture, environment and climate change, sustainable tourism, gender\nequality promotion, and women empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhaya was the only cruise operator who had\nbeen selected and awarded the Silver Swallow worth 50 million VND (2,156 USD).\nThe cruise company is committed to using this money in upcoming corporate\nsocial responsibility projects in Halong Bay and continues to remain as the\npioneer of green tourism in the Gulf of Tonkin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Jerri Povibool, Vice President of HG Holdings, the mother company of Bhaya Cruises, said: \u201cThis award is meaningful to Bhaya Cruises as our works and attention to the community have been recognized widely. We are more motivated to try harder in providing the best services delivered from the heart to all our passengers and accompanying every employee to operate while developing and maintaining a sustainable green Halong Bay for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
