Quang Nam (VNA) – A workshop seeking ways to promote green tourism took place in the central province of Quang Nam on August 15.

Co-organised by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Executive Board of the “Swiss Tourism for Sustainable Development Project in Vietnam” (ST4SD), the event brought together more than 120 delegates from state management agencies, tourism businesses and organisations, and domestic and international tourism experts.

Speaking at the event, Director of the department Nguyen Thanh Hong pointed out the province’ tourism advantages and its target to become a green tourism destination.

In the last three years, with the support from the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) through the ST4SD project, Quang Nam has issued and applied a set of green tourism criteria for six models of resort, hotel, homestay, travel agency, tourist site and community-based tourism site.

So far, the provincial People’s Committee has granted green tourism certifications to 25 tourism businesses.

Vice chairman of the committee Phan Thai Binh said that the province is seeking experts’ suggestions to design specific policies, mechanisms and action plans to promote green tourism in the coming years./.
