The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), together with the Vietnam Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) and the Swiss Sustainable Tourism Programme (SSTP), have collaborated to launch a new Green Travel page on Vietnam's official tourism website for foreign visitors at: www.vietnam.travel/sustainability.
On the Green Travel website, viewers will find articles introducing responsible tourism, guides to Vietnamese customs and traditions, and promoting attractive but lesser-known destinations...
To make it easier for travelers to find what they're looking for, Green Travel provides a comprehensive list of recognized sustainable tourism products in Vietnam. Viewers can read about highly educational tours that are responsible towards the community and the environment. In addition, there are articles about sustainable accommodations such as stilt houses, homestays, and hotels; and information about handcrafted souvenirs, textiles, and stationery brands that are both distinctly Vietnamese and support the livelihoods of local people.
The Green Travel website also features infographics on sustainable tourism in Vietnam, in-depth articles on ethnic minorities, and traditional craft villages. To provide maximum support for tourists in planning their trips, Green Travel has compiled a list of reputable sustainable tourism companies.
The purpose of this 'Green Travel' initiative is to initially support sustainable tourism businesses and tourists interested in this type of travel by providing them with information beforehand and preparing for their trip to Vietnam when international tourism reopens.
In the near future, the website www.vietnam.travel will showcase promotional videos of the best sustainable products; organize competitions with prizes including sustainable products and travel packages on social media channels Facebook, Instagram (@vietnamtourismboard)...
Previously, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism launched Virtual Vietnam on its website www.vietnam.travel/virtual-vietnam, providing information to encourage tourists to explore Vietnam from home while the country's borders remain closed to foreign visitors. This site offers online travel experiences such as 360-degree journeys.oVietnamese recipes, coloring pages, and videos on many other interesting topics.
