After 4 years of efforts and endeavors in promoting responsible tourism in Vietnam, in 2013, The Responsible Travel Club of Vietnam (RTC) was proud to present our achievements and responsible products to colleagues in the industry at the Vietnam International Travel Mart. During the period of the trade fair, RTC has received a lot of praise, support, and interest from delegates and guests participated visiting our booth at the fair. Gladly to announce, in June, RTC has welcomed three new members including: Viet Vision Travel, Haivenu Tours and Dragon World Voyages Travel Company, and especially the very first individual member, Mr.Bui Hoang Ha.
Mr.Huong, director of Viet Vision Travel, said at RTC’s welcome ceremony: “Viet Vision Travel has been designing our tours towards responsible travel before such as voluntary tours to the remote areas in Vietnam for building facilities for low-income local people. Having heard about the Responsible Travel Club of Vietnam, I was so interested in joining in with other colleagues and friends who are also have the enthusiasm of contributing to the sustainability of Vietnam Tourism”.
Sharing the same interest, Ms.Huong, Haivenu Tours’ director, has claimed the theory of RTC is what draw her in, “there’s no other organization like this in Vietnam where different travel companies, who are fair competitors in tourism, come together, share information and be friends towards one same goal: make Vietnam a better place to stay in and travel”
Having more and more new members joining RTC is an affirmation of the importance of the development of responsible tourism for a sustainable tourism industry in Vietnam. And it is also a good sign for Vietnam to see the growing consciousness of stakeholders in the tourism industry who orient in doing business sustainably.
