1
As global tourism moves towards sustainability,
2
Vietnam is embracing new low-carbon tourism models that balance development with environmental protection.
3
In Lạc Sơn province, Lân Năng village is emerging as one of the country's first community-based net-zero tourism destinations.
4
Our reporter Tết Lâm has more from the UNESCO Lạc Sơn Global Geopark.
5
It may look like an ordinary mountain village.
6
But in Lennong, there are no engine sounds,
7
only the sounds of nature and daily village life.
8
What makes Lennong different isn't what's been built, but what hasn't.
9
No concrete, no heavy construction,
10
just a traditional new houses adapted for modern traveler.
11
And tourism here is being reshaped from solar power energy to low-impact design.
12
This is what a no-carbon footprint journey begins to look like.
13
Since late 2025, the village has gradually introduced solar power systems designed to suit the mountainous terrain and local needs.
14
For residents, access to clean energy is not only improving daily life,
15
but also opening new opportunities for sustainable community tourism.
16
Since last year, we have used solar energy for lighting.
17
We also use water from the mountain stream,
18
so life here remains simple.
19
clean and closely connected to nature.
20
Lennau is also promoting a farm-to-table tourism model.
21
Visitors can harvest organic vegetables with local residents and learn how organic waste is reused as natural fertilizer in daily farming activities.
22
They are organic plums.
23
You can pick some herbs they are preparing cakes.
24
So they have a lot to give.
25
Any traveller that looks for authenticity
26
and deep connection will be super happy to make them discover this village because there is something here.
27
Recognizing the village tourism potential,
28
local authorities have identified community-based and ecotourism as strategic priorities for the province.
29
Lạc Sơn sees community-based and ecotourism as key strengths.
30
The province has introduced policies to promote the value of the UNESCO Global Geopark while supporting local communities in landscape improvement.
31
Beyond Lạc Sơn, other parts of Vietnam are also exploring net zero tourism.
32
Together, these models are shaping a broader picture of Vietnam's potential for net-zero tourism,
33
where sustainable development goes hand-in-hand with preserving nature, culture, and local livelihoods.
34
Well, clearly, those are some very interesting models that we've just seen of net-zero tourism emerging across Vietnam.
35
And what stands out is that many local communities are finding ways to preserve nature
36
and cultural identity while still creating sustainable livelihoods through tourism.
37
Yes, that's right, Huyen.
38
And as demand for greener and more responsible travel continues to grow globally,
39
net-zero tourism could become a major opportunity for Vietnam's tourism industry in the years to come.
40
And to gain a better understanding of Vietnam's path towards more sustainable travel,
41
we are joined by Mr. Michael Angel,
42
founder of MQL Sustainable Tourism Services.
43
Thank you so much for joining us.
44
So as Vietnam promotes greener and more sustainable travel,
45
some provinces are already piloting low-carbon tourism models.
46
In the global tourism industry,
47
how important are these local initiatives?
48
And can small community-based models generate long-term economic value?
49
Well, it is very interesting because in Vietnam during these recent years is happening what happened in other destinations before.
50
Reducing the CO2 and achieving this net zero is very important to the whole country of Vietnam because our government,
51
they make already some commitments,
52
looking at 2030 up to 2050,
53
to achieve the net zero pollution on CO2.
54
So this is not an individual effort.
55
If not, all the airlines,
56
all the construction and real estate developers need to go aligned with tourism,
57
with trains, with transportation.
58
Everybody must be alike looking at the same direction.
59
Yes, Mikhail.
60
And net zero tourism is sometimes mistakenly equated with less development,
61
involving fewer facilities and lower profits.
62
So from your perspective, how should people correctly understand the concept of net zero tourism,
63
especially in a developing country like Vietnam?
64
Right.
65
You are right.
66
This is one of the common misconceptions.
67
net zero tourism and net zero properties and that we are supporting,
68
they don't need to be lower categories or lower services or lower standards in any way.
69
These CO2 emissions are not related to cut services or minimise any of the facilities.
70
I will say the opposite.
71
The only thing is that we measure what we are doing.
72
And so I think this is a clear message for all your viewers in the program.
73
Yes, Mikael last question so looking ahead what should vietnam prioritize now
74
if it wants to establish itself as the leading net zero tourism destinations in the region not just in policy
75
but in practice
76
one simple measure that will help a lot will be to have a law enforcing
77
that all the hotels all the resorts all the travel companies
78
all the transportation companies airlines all the tourism stakeholders are accountable for what they produce to the atmosphere to the Vietnamese air.
79
We can talk about electricity,
80
about solar panels, about electric vehicles instead of fuel.
81
All this help us to reduce the CO2 that we bring into the atmosphere.
82
But the point here in Vietnam,
83
especially for development countries like Vietnam,
84
is that many owners and many companies do not know how to measure these CO2 emissions
85
and how to reduce something that we don't know how to measure.
86
If we pollute a lot,
87
we do have measures for you to reduce and pollute less.
88
And if you pollute less,
89
we have measures for you to pollute zero.
90
Only this way is the one who will drive us to achieve the 2050 commitments.
91
Thank you very much for your time.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
