Responsible Travel to Vietnam

Travelling in Vietnam offers multiple chances to participate in eco-initiatives and participate in activities that support and protect the local populations and nature. Here are some simple tips that you can easily incorporate into your holiday to Vietnam. The list is of course not exhaustive.

Some tips for a responsible trip to Vietnam:

1. Do not take plastic wrappings or other articles that you will throw away in the destination


2. Use a bamboo or metal straw and systematically refuse plastic straws


3. For your purchases, use a cloth bag and refuse the plastic bags


4. Bring your own refillable water bottle rather than using disposable water bottles (89 billion bottles of plastic water are sold each year around the world, a plastic bottle takes 450 years to disappear from the earth's surface).


5. Travel responsibly – many places in Vietnam allow you to get around with a limited carbon footprint. You have the possibility to rent bicycles in some cities, while in Hanoi electric minibuses can take you around the capital, offering you a different perspective of the main sites.


6. Respect the local customs


7. Follow the advice of your Vietnam Travel Expert and participate in activities related to the preservation of traditions.
