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

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

Guess whatโโ๏ธ
It was a 3๏ธโฃD2๏ธโฃN trip & with convoy ๐ ๐ style almost everywhere travelled, a special thank you ๐ for having police๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธescounting to keep all safe at all times๐
This ride ๐๐ was jointly organised by the Ministry of Tourism & Culture Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ (MOTAC) & Gaya Travel Magazine, it departed from MATIC Centre early morning ๐ after the opening launch ceremony๐๐ป๐๐
Hmm…Let’s SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป sharing here about the Eat & Travel of this awesome ride๐๐
If not yet, she recommends ๐๐ป๐ you have to try at least once๐๐ป ~ Putu Bambu Juriah ~ this not too sweet & puffy cake which made by rice flour & palm sugar (aka gula melaka in Malaysia’s ๐ฒ๐พ national language, Bahasa Melayu) & being steamed in a cylindrical bamboo moulds before it’s served with the grated coconut ๐ฅฅ๐ด
This corner shop ๐ operates daily from ๐am to 7๏ธโฃpm & very crowded ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ especially during breakfast & tea time๐
Frankly, she was curious ๐คโabout the restaurant name ~ Restoran Kari Kambing 4๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃHari aka 4๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ Days Mutton ๐ Curry ๐ (Ha…Ha…a direct translation from its original in Bahasa Melayu) ~ at arrival๐ ๐
Hmm…Why4๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ daysโโ๏ธ
It meant the reheat of mutton ๐curry ๐ for 4๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ days
Guess whatโโ๏ธ
She was impressed with the long queue๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญonce arrived ๐ฒ Another question popped up againโ
Why people ๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญ willing to queue so long for mutton ๐ curry ๐โ
You can opt for a tray serving of mutton ๐ curry with Arab rice ๐ set which can sharing between 4๏ธโฃ to 6๏ธโฃ pax when you are dining ๐ฝ in a group๐ญ๐ฌ๐ซ
After tasted it, she knew why…Because the mutton ๐ served here is juicy & tender ๐ with its tasty curry ๐ tasted strong with herbs. Hmm…Personally she prefers to have stronger mutton taste though๐ Ohh…It serves chicken dish too
This self service restaurant operates daily from 7.30am to 3๏ธโฃpm & located at 215, Kampung Haji Ghafar, Batu 5 1/2, Jalan Yong Peng, Batu Pahat, Johor Darul Takzim, West Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
