Gia Lai province promotes sustainable community tourism

Gia Lai province in Vietnam is transitioning its tourism model toward sustainable, community-based experiences. In the Hoai Nhon Bac ward, officials are moving away from simple landscape exploitation to develop products linked to local lifestyles and environmental protection.

The La Vuong Plateau, situated over 700 meters above sea level, is a central focus due to its cool climate, grasslands, and forests. Local authorities are exploring ecotourism, camping, glamping, farmstays, and agricultural experiences to attract visitors.

To encourage longer stays, the province aims to create interregional routes connecting the plateau with Thien Chanh beach, the Doi Muoi historical site, and the Chuong Hoa sedge-mat weaving village. This strategy seeks to integrate nature, culture, and agriculture into a cohesive tourism ecosystem.
