Healing Tourism: The Forest is a Place to Return

07/10/2023

Having worked and lived in Ho Chi Minh City for a while, Mr. Son “Troc” decided to leave the city for the forest to build a healing tour. “Once, while climbing a mountain alone, while sitting still on the top of the mountain, I felt a strange sense of peace. Tears fell and I thought that there would be many people who needed this feeling of peace and clarity to overcome their life’s pain. Lac Tour was also born from that moment.”

Healing tourism is also considered a form of health tourism. When coming to the trip, tourists will have wonderful experiences and discover the beauty of nature. Moreover, this is a time to review their lifestyle, heal the wounds in the soul and improve their health. Many tourists even leave the trip completely changed body - mind - spirit to move towards a more meaningful life.
