Joining hands for green tourism and sustainable development

Representatives of participating units took part in the “Spreading Tree - Commitment to Action for Green and Plastic-Free Tourism” activity

According to the organizing committee, in recent years, Hue has been gradually affirming its image as a green, friendly, and environmentally responsible destination through various initiatives aiming at reducing plastic waste in the tourism sector.

At the event, the Department of Tourism announced Hue City’s Green Tourism Criteria, one of the city’s key orientations to encourage tourism businesses to transition toward more environmentally friendly and community-responsible practices, while enhancing the overall quality of the destinations.
