Supporting others “But man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour, and show them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them” Adam Smith (1723-1790)
Embracing a philosophy of serving others is what makes hotel Vistamar different. The hotel has several programs to help the community.
1. The first one consists of supporting local artisans in Masachapa and other areas by promoting their product. We contribute with these people who every day make an effort to work and earn their bread.
Hotel Vistamar supports artisans who make sea shell jewerly, hammocks, Jicara crafts and sisal bags. We allow them to offer their products to our visitors. We support those to individually or in group work in craft making. See article about testimony from one of the families we support Their handcrafts do not only represent a way of living, but also a culture and customs. Entire civilizations have been indentified through the features of their crafts.
In Nicaragua there is an extrordinary variety of crafts. Among these: Sisal products and
2. The second program we have is “Improving Employees’ lives”
Improving our workers’ lives is our business´ priority and philosophy. We aspire provide a house to those who don´t have one. We are presently planning to buy a lot near the hotel to build the houses there. We will start a initial fund by donating $2 dollars for each room rented. We hope to start building the first houses within a year. Later on, we will seek support from other companies and organisations which might wish to contribute with projects like this, thus helping those who have nothing. |
