Green tourism development is an inevitable trend in the strategy for sustainable growth, which can be found in a lot of countries around the world.

In 2021, the Government of Vietnam issued Decision No.1658 on the national strategy for green growth in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050.

Tourism is an integrated service economy in nature that is inter-sectoral, inter-regional and highly socialized. Green tourism plays an important role in the implementation of national goals of green growth.

According to Deputy Chairman of the Quang Nam provincial People's Committee (PPC) Tran Van Tan, Quang Nam has a lot of potential and advantages in tourism development.

It is, in fact, a tourist attraction that is popular with local and foreign visitors.

On August 10, 2021, a provincial plan for green tourism development was put into action; then a set of criteria for green tourism was established on December 4, 2021.

So, Quang Nam is the first place in Vietnam to announce the green tourism criteria that are considered to be proper when tourism activities are reopened in the new normal.

Meanwhile, the seminar on green tourism development and indigenous value preservation was also a chance for Quang Nam to talk about the significance of green tourism, look for solutions for local tourism recovery and development.
