The Code – An Initiative for Child’s Safety In July 2013, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts joined The Code, an industry-led initiative to protect children from sexual exploitation in travel and tourism. As part of a Group-wide’s mission, Laguna Lăng Cô is one of the 32 properties across 4 continents within the Group which are participating to support the protection of children from sexual exploitation, along with their mission statement for responsible tourism and environmental protection. Each property is required to implement 6 different elements which include: • Providing information to travellers. •Training associates to raise their awareness about the issue. •Creating its own policy related to The Code. •Creating a clause related to The Code in contract with suppliers. •Partaking In partnership with other stakeholders to prevent the issue. •Reporting to authorized agencies if any cases of children being exploited are found. After the 1st month of implementation, nearly 3,000 out of 10,000 associates in the Group were trained. This number has exceeded the requirement of 25% of total associates to complete the e-learning by Q1 as per required from the Group. A Group poster about The Code has also been developed and put in place in many resorts as a means of communication to provide the information to guests. As the training is on track and other activities will be implemented soon, 2014 promises to be a successful year for The Code project at Banyan Tree. Contact: Tram.Ho@lagunalangco.com
