Green transition in tourism for sustainable development

Abstract

     Turism has emerged as a vital sector in Vietnam’s economy, projected to contribute over 6.4 percent to the GDP by 2024, thanks greatly to Vietnam’s natural beauty and cultural heritage that attract millions of visitors annually. As we confront challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change, a shift towards sustainability is imperative. Green transition in tourism not only benefits the environment and supports biodiversity conservation but also uplifts communities that are reliant on tourism and fosters economic growth.
