Abstract:

According to UNWTO, Vietnam is ranked 6/10 countries with the highest tourist growth rate in the world and voted by WTA as Asia's leading tourist destination. However, accompanied by high growth rates are adverse effects on resource, environmental and cultural issues. This is a manifestation of unsustainable development. Therefore, promoting green tourism is positioned as a crucial necessity, requiring Vietnam's tourist sector in general and enterprises engaged in the industry, including hotels in particular, to continuously work towards achieving this objective. This article discusses the development of green tourism and its applications in the hotel business in Vietnam.
