Ecotourism is considered as a form of tourism in which the main motivation of tourists is the observation and appreciation of nature and local culture. Hue offers a rare glimpse of a sleepy historical capital on the bank of a poetic river. Therefore, we do hope our activities will provide the visitors with a new opportunity to  interact with local people and honor their culture, as well as slow down your travel to explore regions, taking the time to really enjoy and exchange opinions and emotions with local.

Inspired by nature, Hue EcoTours was created with the idea of helping visitors connect with the natural world, providing guest a chance to enjoy and to truly travel Hue off the beaten track and gain up close experience of the local life. We are committed to making your trip as fun and absorbing as possible, each and every point along your journey.

For the Environment

• Our properties were built with materials sourced from the local area, all are environment-friendly such as wood, bamboo and rattan. We use grown wood only to help protect the forest.
• We and our guests plant a lot of green trees as well as organic vegetables and herbs in our garden, mostly used for the cooking class. As we pay entrance fee and donate, we support local people to preserve the natural surroundings and environment.
• We save rain water in huge jars and refill it for our daily use. We encourage staffs and guests to use water efficiently. We also have a system to process waste water.
• We mitigate our waste and don't use plastic bags. All items in our restaurant can be recycled.
• Although motor-bike “easy-rider” tours are very popular in Hue, we organize only walking and biking tour around the village to help reduce carbon emissions.

For the Community

• Our tour is authentic. It means we bring guests to uncommercialized places such as local houses, market, pagoda and temples. We donate a part of our profit to preserve these sites and Hue cultural heritage in general.
• All our staffs and guides are local people in the village. We teach them English and train them in professional service.
• We offer equal job opportunities for all locals to earn an income from our business. We only hire people with vision disability for our massage team, not ordinary people.
• We also buy fresh produce from local villagers for cooking class ingredients and our meals too. We bring guests to visit traditional handicraft villages, encourage guests to buy local products to help develop them.
• We offer guests a chance to meet, talk and join work with local people. Guests can plant trees, water vegetables or harvest rice, depending on season. They are truly connected with the locals.
