SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. WHY LOW-IMPACT REEF MEAL STANDARDS ARE IMPORTANT?
- Organizing on-island-meal sustainable is more complicated than you think which come with concerns about influencing coral reef nearby, thereby OnBird must have collections of standards to prevent meal organization from influencing our coral reefs.
- On this tour OnBird does not organize cocked-meal on small islets in South Phu Quoc Island like other tours but we choose on-main-island restaurant with sea view and advanced wastewater treatment system to keep islets less polluted.
