Around 60 percent of the vacancies are expected to be allotted to women.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/laos-looks-to-china-after-being-derailed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Laos looks to China after being derailed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn alignment with government\u2019s efforts, IFC\u2019s loan to BIM Land will help create higher skilled job opportunities for the local workforce in Lao PDR and Vietnam, thereby strengthening supply chains, driving inclusive growth and enabling private sector participation,\u201d said Kyle Kelhofer, IFC country manager for Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao PDR, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>BIM Land\u2019s project with the IFC will source around 90 percent of goods and services locally. Following IFC\u2019s Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies Green Building Certification System (EDGE) standards, the firm aims to reduce energy, water, and material consumption by at least 20 percent in the development of its hotels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tourism industry is a major contributor to employment, foreign exchange earnings, and tax revenues for developing countries,\u201d said
