"The training on reducing plastic and maintaining hygiene standards is a valuable resource for all tourism establishments that do not want to accept to reintroduce single-use plastics, but at the same time are unsure about safe alternatives during the pandemic. It is easily understandable, gives hands-on examples and motivates to take immediate action."
