Ricky’s Beach House, a beachfront accommodation established in 2010 by Ricky Putra Sinaro, stands as a beacon of responsible tourism in Sumatra. Located along picturesque shores, the beach house was created not only to provide comfort and relaxation to visitors but also to enrich the local community. Ricky’s vision was to offer job opportunities for his people, fostering economic development while promoting sustainable practices that respect the island’s natural beauty. This commitment has made Ricky’s Beach House a hub for both tourists and locals, blending hospitality with social responsibility.

Central to the mission of Ricky’s Beach House is its focus on marine conservation, particularly through initiatives aimed at protecting endangered sea turtles. Guests are invited to participate in conservation programs that monitor nesting sites and support hatchlings, empowering them to actively engage in preserving these remarkable creatures. Additionally, the beach house is dedicated to replanting coral reefs, offering workshops that educate guests about the importance of marine ecosystems. These activities not only provide hands-on experience but also raise awareness about environmental issues, creating a collaborative atmosphere of learning and ecological stewardship.

Ricky’s Beach House is also committed to developing the youth in the community by creating a space where they can learn about tourism and conservation. Through various educational programs and workshops, young people are given the opportunity to engage in eco-tourism, gaining valuable skills that prepare them for future careers in the hospitality industry. This approach embodies Ricky’s vision of a pilot project for community-based eco-tourism, where the benefits of tourism are shared with the local population. By instilling knowledge and fostering a sense of responsibility, Ricky’s Beach House not only enhances the experience for its guests but also nurtures the next generation of environmental stewards and tourism professionals.
