More than 300 people attended the opening day of an open air green tourism festival in Danang city on July 20 as part of activities to promote eco-tourism in the city.
Opening day featured 20 outstanding artworks from a photo contest themed around travel. Attendees also had a chance to hear leading tourism industry experts opine on the importance of green tourism and conservation as well as to participate in innovative games to learn about green tourism.
The event was organized by the Centre for Development of Community Initiative and Environment (C&E) with the support of the UNDP-funded project on strengthening capacity to integrate sustainable development and climate change into planning process.
The event was an ideal place to exchange information among organizations and individuals who are keen on responsible tourism, and promote mutual understanding, especially among youth, about issues relating to climate change, a ‘green’ lifestyle, biodiversity conservation, and preservation of regional cultural characteristics through tourism experiences.
