The Hai Phong Tourism Association is committed to developing tourism in a sustainable direction, with the goal of protecting the environment and preserving local cultural values.
In the context of the rapidly growing tourism industry, protecting natural resources and maintaining the living environment is not only a responsibility but also a key factor to ensure the long-term and sustainable development of Hai Phong's tourism sector. The Association places special emphasis on encouraging tourism businesses in Hai Phong to adopt green tourism models to minimize negative environmental impacts.
Member businesses are encouraged to implement energy-saving measures, reduce plastic waste, and use sustainable natural resources in their tourism activities. Ecotourism products at prominent destinations such as Cat Ba and Do Son serve as clear examples of sustainable tourism models, where visitors can enjoy natural beauty without harming the environment. This also provides an opportunity for Hai Phong to build its image as an eco-friendly tourist destination.
In addition, the Association focuses on developing community-based tourism, creating opportunities for local people to participate in tourism activities and benefit from the industry's growth. Community tourism programs not only help preserve and promote the unique cultural values of Hai Phong but also create sustainable income sources for local people while raising awareness of natural resource protection. These models not only bring economic benefits but also contribute to safeguarding cultural heritage, laying the foundation for sustainable tourism development in the future.
Through advocacy programs, training, and collaboration with international organizations, the Hai Phong Tourism Association promotes awareness of the importance of sustainable tourism. Businesses are encouraged to adopt environmental protection standards and create nature-friendly tourism products. This not only helps enhance the quality of tourism but also creates lasting value for both the community and the Hai Phong tourism industry. With the joint efforts of businesses, authorities, and the community, Hai Phong's tourism will develop strongly and sustainably, contributing to the protection of natural resources, enhancing cultural values, and boosting the local economy.
