#MUNIonThis: Sustainability is as much about people as it is about the planet. . When we think about sustainable tourism, it’s so easy to think of just the natural wonders — beaches, mountains and forests. But to preserve nature, we also need to find ways for man to co-exist sustainably with the planet. . One of the ways we’ve found some folks do that is by creating businesses that allow local communities to earn, while remaining conscious about using natural/renewable materials and preserving processes that pay homage to traditional, time-honored techniques like weaving, as seen here at @haciendacrafts. . Husband and wife team composed of co-founder designer @inagaston and co-founder Joey Gaston, have created Hacienda Crafts as a brand that adheres to principles of transparency in their supply chain (with @holicowph), and supplements the income of sugar farmers with a business that services customers year round. . The Hacienda Crafts workshop is one of our stops for the upcoming #MuniTravels Negros this week! . Learn more about @muni_ph’s approach to #SustainableTourism with founder @jenhorn_ at the #MuniMeetup on July 7, 3-6pm at Kuppa in Bacolod City, together with @dave.albao and @pregaurana_ of @danjuganisland and @sweep.ph, @tinmansinares of the Negros Occidental tourism office, and @stungbyagelafish of @reefnomads! .
