A Simple Guide to Sustainable Travel

Thinking about your next adventure? It's time to add a new mindset to your packing list: sustainable travel. This isn't just a buzzword; it's a way to explore the world with purpose, leaving a positive impact wherever you go.


Here's a simple way to look at it: Think of travel as a two-way street. You get to experience a new culture, admire beautiful landscapes, and make unforgettable memories. In return, you contribute to the community and help protect the environment. It's a win-win for everyone.



At Vietnam's Ethnics Community, we're putting this idea into action. We believe that caring for our home is the most important part of sharing it with others. That's why we invite you to join us for our weekly cleanup event.


Join the Ta Van Cleanup!

We're organizing a community trash cleanup in the stunning Tả Van valley. This is more than just a chore—it's an opportunity to:


Connect with the Land: Get your hands dirty and help preserve the natural beauty of this region.


Meet New People: Work alongside locals and fellow travelers who share your passion for the environment.


Make a Real Impact: Every piece of trash you collect makes a difference in keeping our community clean and healthy.
