Responsible Travel

Environment Protection 
Responsible travel is all about having a positive impact on the environment and the people who live in the areas you choose to travel to. It’s about minimizing our footprint, immersing yourself into local cultures, being aware of traditions and local etiquette and respecting your surroundings. By travelling responsibly you will make a positive contribution to each destination, you will make the most of the experiences you have with the people you meet and you will leave with inspiring travel experiences that you’ll treasure forever!

Vietnam Ultimate Travel believes in supporting the local environment, nation’s economy and people in the areas that we visit, working only with partners who support and share our core Responsible Travel value and inspire people around to contribute great efforts to our green environment. 

Local Supports
We support local communities especially Ethics  by working with local guides, suppliers and operators in each of our tour destinations.
Wherever possible, we prefer to work in partnership with smaller, family-run businesses, rather than large foreign-owned companies. This enables us to support tourism and the local economy in the areas we visit as well as offer our travelers authentic and unique experiences on our tours

Wildlife
Our Responsible Travel values are based on our great passion for the environment and welfare of local wildlife in destinations we travel.
We don’t include elephant riding on any of our tours due to the inhumane treatment of these beautiful creatures. Instead we work with an elephant sanctuary in Thailand dedicated to caring for elephants previously held in captivity.

Planet 
We are proud to support two fantastic charities empowering communities to be more self-sufficient.
The Bo De Pagoda – together with our partners and volunteers, we want to give a helping hand to the children and adults who are in need. Our resources are limited but with contribution from volunteers who are willing and eager to join us, we believe that we can together bring joy and happiness to the people with disabilities or having trouble coping with everyday life.

Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam (HSCV) -  is dedicated to investing in and providing opportunity and knowledge to the children and their families of Vietnam. We believe that education and wellness are fundamental ingredients in the fight for a better tomorrow, and this belief is reflected across all our programs.
