Giving Back to Our Local Communities
Origin Travel focuses on Responsible Tourism in Vietnam.
Giving back to local communities has been a principle of Origin Travel’s founder Mr. Ruby since his days as a student at Tourism University in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Charity Projects
Origin Vietnam Foundation raises awareness for social and environmental issues in the region and generates support for charitable projects working to improve these issues. Apart from that we work closely with local communities and suppliers to set up new Community-Based Tourism projects and other grassroots initiatives in Vietnam and We hope can do Very soon in Cambodia and Laos on next coming year.
Responsible Tourism
For most, to work in the travel industry is to have an innate passion for the planet and all the organisms and peoples that make it such an extraordinary place. Not only is a clean and healthy environment necessary in order to sustain a viable industry, but preservation is also vital for future generations. It is the responsibility of everyone who travels the world to be conscientious about where they tread and what impact this has on the world around you.
Acknowledging the power of tourism to change and improve lives we place a strong emphasis on responsible tourism, working with an ethical mind whenever developing product which leaves us in good standing to identify existing areas of poverty where initiatives will be well received.
Essentially, the idea of ‘responsible tourism’ transcends conventional perceptions of travel, in stead immersing clients in authentic experiences that mutually benefit both local and visitor. Sustainable tourism is the future of travel, bringing people closer together and developing a style of travel that is conducive to making the world a better place.
Community Based Tourism
As active supporters of community-based tourism Origin Travel incorporates projects with local organizations offering clients the opportunity to learn more about authentic cultures while improving welfare and supporting environmental and cultural preservation.
Treading Lightly
Whenever possible Origin turns of all idling engines and use eco-friendly modes of transport. On adventure trips through remote areas, we use biodegradable cleaning products, dispose of waste properly and ensure no litter gets left behind.
We also encourage travelers to stay at eco-resorts, to see more about our responsible accommodation options.
Local Charities
By working with local charities we can maximize the benefits of tourism on local society and economy. By incorporating sustainable tourism projects into Origin’s itineraries, promoting charity ran shops and vocational institutions that train local youths we are actively partaking in showcasing the beauty of these destinations while exploring positive ways to contribute to the growth Indochina.
