Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

The Tai Dam Guesthouse and Restaurant takes the following measures to try and minimize their impact on the local environment: 

- Promotes Tai Dam culture by building its bungalows  and decorating them in the traditional Tai Dam style. Thereby giving other cultures and peoples a stepping stone to understanding Tai Dam Culture. This also ensures that the rich and beautiful Tai Dam culture is preserved for the benefit of future generations.

- Keeps all guest rooms as non smoking. By having no smoking rooms, this preserves the life of the rooms meaning curtains and bedding don't need to be replaced as often and walls don't have to be repainted as regularly. By reducing these cleaning materials and costs, hotels with a no smoking room policy reduce the amount of harsh cleaning chemicals and detergents, water, energy and paint that is used on an annual basis as well preserving the life of the room and its furnishings therefore reducing excess consumption of all elements.
