Yeahโผ๏ธ SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป would like to encourage all to “Let’s be plastic ๐ & instead zero 0๏ธโฃ plastic whenever we are travelling around”, whether you’re the travellers or the tourism players across the globe ๐
She has read ๐ about the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) has recently announced about the launch of a ๐ online resource for increasing โฌ๏ธ the sustainability of the tourism sector. This course named “Targeting Zero 0๏ธโฃ Plastics in Tourism Businesses โ with UNESCO, PATA & Expedia Group” is recently launched in conjunction with PATA Destination Marketing Forum 2022 (PDMF) which held in Songkhla, Thailand ๐น๐ญ from 2 to 4 Aug recently. SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has registered it, however due to work commitment, she was unable to attend it personally ๐
In March 2022, PATA actually already started a collaboration ๐ค๐ป with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with the goal of advising tourism & hospitality businesses on plastic waste reductionโฌ๏ธ To achieve this, PATA has developed this online course ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐จ๐ปโ๐ป๐ง๐ปโ๐ป to provide step-wise guidance on minimising the sourcing & consumption of single-use plastics as well as the importance for organisations to sign โ๐ป the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge
The Pledge, which is a collaboration ๐ค๐ป between UNESCO & Expedia Group, is open & applicable to all tourism businesses, regardless of their size or location. By signing โ๐ป the Pledge, they will be joining a network ๐ of leading tourism & hospitality businesses that are helping their destinations in the development of sustainable tourism. “The Sustainable Travel Pledge is particularly timely as we work to build a ๐ kind of tourism in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, by inviting local tourism stakeholders to commit to inclusive & sustainable measures”, said Ernesto Ottone R., UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Culture ๐จ๐ผโ๐ผ
“The pandemic caused hardship in tourism destinations worldwide ๐, but also led to severe setbacks in our fight against plastic waste”, said PATA CEO Liz Ortiguera. “Now is the time to take action & strive for a more sustainable tourism & hospitality industry. Weโre proud to make this contribution to plastic waste reduction โฌ๏ธ efforts.”
The amount of plastics we currently produce, consume and dispose of is unsustainable, and tourism activities and hospitality businesses do contribute largely to this issue. In the Mediterranean, for example, marine litter increases up to 40% during tourist peak season (One Planet, 2021) & this poses a threat to tourism destinations themselves
As put by Ang Choo Pin, Managing Director Asia, Expedia Group, “It is essential for hotels, restaurants, tour operators & all other tourism businesses to reduce โฌ๏ธ the amount of plastics they generate & dispose of the unavoidable plastics responsibly if they wish to protect the very assets they rely on to attract customers”
Reducing โฌ๏ธ single-use plastics in tourism & hospitality businesses provides not only an opportunity to protect the destination’s ecosystems but also to support the local community & economy, as it is advocated throughout the online course ๐ง๐ปโ๐ป๐จ๐ปโ๐ป๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป This is because sourcing local products & using local resources & services in tourism offerings & activities reduces reliance on international supply chains as well as economic leakages. Moreover, local artisanal products are more likely to be made of natural, renewable materials than mass-produced ones
— UNESCO ๐๏ธ #Education #Sciences #Culture ๐บ๐ณ๐ท (@UNESCO) August 1, 2022
“The course developed by PATA is an incredible resource for businesses to understand the relationships between communities, culture & environmental protection through plastic waste reduction”, says Dr. Hanh Duong Bich, Program Specialist and Chief of Culture Unit at UNESCO Office in Bangkok. “It gives great guidance and examples on how businesses can help fight plastic waste & at the same time promote local heritage & strengthen local supply chains.” ๐๐ป
The course “Targeting Zero Plastics in Tourism Businesses โ with UNESCO, PATA & Expedia Group” is open-sourced & available โ to all
The self-paced course is available open-sourced in 2๏ธโฃ languages, English & Thai. It covers the following topics;
What is the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge โโ๏ธ
What is the necessary process to implement a plastic waste reduction strategy โโ๏ธ
What are the concrete measures needed to reduce single-use plastics in my businessโโ๏ธ
How can local knowledge & products help fight plastic waste โโ๏ธ
How can I continue my journey towards plastic waste reduction โโ๏ธ
Participants can receive an e-certificate ๐ if they achieve the minimum required score ie. 80% in the final quiz. Yeahโผ๏ธ SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has just completed & received her e-certificate ๐, then sharing here for all to also attending this useful informative online course ๐ช๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป

Hey all, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป would like to sharing a good news to all foodies , food lovers ๐๐๐๐ป about the local food culinary bazaar that she has personally attended @ ๐ Batam, Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ
.
There were approximately 40 culinary stalls gathered @ ๐ Aston Nagoya Batam & Favehotel Nagoya Batam ๐จ It’s the Kampong Food Fiesta 2022 ๐๐๐ป
Yes โ , SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป was there personally with her travel mates on the 1๏ธโฃst day of this food fiesta. Then, continue the 2๏ธโฃnd day again. Do check out her TikTok clip captured via ๐น๐
Yes โ , as the name suggested, there were a good ๐๐ป variety of village-specific gastronomy available ie. Bakso, meat balls, somai, pecel, rujak, various soto, rawon, fried foods, mendowan & many more
Guess whatโโ๏ธ
The best ๐๐ป is ๐ admission, yes โ , NO entrance fee required. You just be present & enjoy the foods served here. Ohh yeahโผ๏ธGuaranteed as some of her travel mates have commented that the foods were delicious ๐๐คค & definitely will not drain your pocket, all foods with reasonable price, yeahโผ๏ธ
Let’s bring along your family members, besties, neighbours, colleagues, friends etc. to dropping by this yummy food fiesta if you’re in Batam Island ๐ฎ๐ฉ Or you’re travelling this weekend. There were many performances, live bands, petting zoo, Kuda Lumping, live painting, Zumba, Malay kustik, Silat , coloring competitions to Indian Joget & many more during the fiesta ๐๐๐ป.
So, some of the foods that SiennyLovesDrawing personally tasted from this Kampong Food Fiesta as below,
Bakso
It’s an Indonesian meatball. It’s pronunciation from Hokkien ่้ ฅ ie. Bah-soอ, then its Indonesian name Bakso, with a silent “k”This popular street food dish is very popular in Malang, Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ & is said to be Chinese in origin. This is why the texture is so similar to fish & beef balls youโll find in Chinese cuisine
Ohh ya…Depending on the type of meatballs used, it might be called Bakso Ayam (Chicken meatballs), Bakso sapi (Beef meatballs) or Bakso babi (Pork meatballs) etc.When served with noodles & broth, the dish is bakso noodles
— SiennyLovesDrawing (@SiennyLovesDraw) July 16, 2022
Personally SiennyLovesDrawing prefers to enjoy just the chewy bakso of any meat with sweet sauce & a little spicy sambal. Alternatively, she will enjoy a bakso noodles bowl at times ๐ Read more via ๐ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakso
Batagor
It’s an abbreviation from Ba for Bakso (meatballs), Ta for Tahu (ie. Tofu), Gor for goreng (Deep-fried) ~ A popular street food in Bandung, Sunda region of West Java, Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ Also said to be an adaptation of the Chinese Indonesian “Siu Mai”. Tofu & wonton skins are usually stuffed with fish or meat paste & then steamed & coat with batter & deep-fried, then served with spicy sweet peanut ๐ฅ sauce
It’s 1๏ธโฃ of the various types of spring rolls commonly found in Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ , also Philippine ๐ต๐ญ. Lumpia are made of thin paper-like or crepe-like pastry skin with enveloping savory or sweet fillings
It’s often served as an appetizer or snack & might be served deep fried or fresh
— SiennyLovesDrawing (@SiennyLovesDraw) July 16, 2022
SiennyLovesDrawing tried the one with beef & vegetables in it from this fiesta & it’s crispy juicy to enjoy ๐๐๐ป Read more via ๐ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpia
Telur Gulung (Egg rolls)
It’s a variation of fried egg where an egg ๐ฅ is fried & then rolled using a skewer which is usually made from bamboo wood or stick ๐ฆฏ
As the egg ๐ฅ (Whisk egg) is cooking, quickly use the โsatay stickโ & spin the stick around so that it collects the egg around the stick
The cooked & fried rolled egg on stick, will be placed on a cup ๐ฅก ready to be served along with the sauces
— SiennyLovesDrawing (@SiennyLovesDraw) July 14, 2022
It was just recently launched & SiennyLovesDrawing has witnessed its ๐ opening ceremony here on 13 July 2022 & being invited to stay in for 2๏ธโฃ nights here

9 March 2022 – Malaysia Opens Its National Borders 1 Apr 2022 To Re -Empower The International Tourism Sector
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) welcomes the recent announcement made by the YAB Prime Minister regarding the opening of the country’s borders starting 1 Apr 2022, in line with the country’s situation which will enter the ‘Transition to Endemic’ Phase on the same date
This announcement is good news for tourism industry players as it can give them relief and light in regenerating the economy through the international tourism sector after the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic 2 years ago, closing the country’s border gates to foreign tourists
The announcement made involves the following:
Malaysians with valid travel documents can now enter and leave the country as usual and are allowed to go to any country that also opens its border gates to foreign travelers
Foreign nationals with valid travel documents can also move in and out of Malaysia without having to apply for MyTravelPass which will be abolished. Instead, just download and activate the MySejahtera application and complete the Pre-Departure Form through the Traveler function in MySejahtera
Individuals who have received a complete vaccination, are not required to undergo any quarantine period and only need to undergo the COVID-19 RT-PCR detection test two days before departure as well as the RTK-Ag (professional) test within 24 hours of arrival. However, for other vaccination status such as not receiving vaccine for medical reasons and not receiving any vaccination, the procedure will be detailed by the Minister of Health; as well as
For countries that are still closing their borders, the people can still take advantage of the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) method that has been agreed by the Malaysian Government with the countries involved
YB Dato ‘Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture said, the decision to open the countryโs borders to foreign tourists is able to boost the countryโs economic recovery after COVID-19, especially involving the entire chain of tourism, arts and culture industry players in the country. . MOTAC remains optimistic that the industry will rise again and be able to make Malaysia popular again among international tourists
It is advisable for all tourism and cultural industry players to make initial preparations in receiving tourists from outside. Industry players are urged to continue to intensify promotion and be more creative in marketing Malaysian tourism products and locations in the eyes of the world
MOTAC will also always provide cooperation and support to all efforts made by all government agencies involved in the successful reopening of the Malaysia’s borders starting 1 April 2022
