Stay at a campground or eco-village Enjoy activities

Vietnam has seen remarkable development in the tourism sector in recent years, and according to the Vietnam General Administration of Tourism, both foreign and domestic tourists have been steadily increasing since around 2010, becoming a driving force in the Vietnamese economy before the COVID-19 epidemic.
Under such circumstances, accommodations that take nature and the environment into consideration are increasing and gaining popularity. Modern camping sites, eco-villages, and farms with accommodations in nature, and a style of travel that allows visitors to experience and learn about the natural environment and agriculture through relaxation and various activities, are popular not only among the young but also among the elderly.
The increase in green tourism and farm stays will not only bring about a change in the users' learning and awareness of the environment, but will also lead to an increase in non-farm income for people in rural areas and the distribution and utilization of agricultural products that would have otherwise been discarded.

Vietnam government sets sustainable Tourism development set as a goal

In 2017, Vietnam formulated The One Strategic Plan (OSP), which consists of four priority areas, taking into account the SDGs. These include strengthening environmental sustainability and creating an inclusive labor market and expanding opportunities. In Vietnam, the SDGs are still being addressed only by a few conscious and sensitive people and companies, but more and more people, especially young people, are becoming interested in them. The same is true for green tourism, which has been attracting attention mainly from young people due to climate change and frequent natural disasters. As a result, new forms of travel, such as camping and farm stays, are becoming more popular.
Vietnam has diverse natural resources, 27,289,454 hectares of farmland, and more than 35,000 farms nationwide. Through sustainable tourism and agriculture through green tourism and farm stays, sustainable agriculture and environmental protection and poverty alleviation can be realized. Along with the increasing demand for tourism, Vietnam's tourist destinations have experienced negative impacts and burdens on the environment due to waste, increased power consumption, and destruction of the natural environment, but the Vietnamese government has begun to address environmental issues, partly because it has set the goal of developing nature-friendly and sustainable tourism.
