In Can Gio – a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve known for its distinctive mangrove forest ecosystem – students explored community-based tourism models, visited nature conservation areas, and studied socio-economic development strategies linked to environmental protection. The on-site survey and direct interaction with local residents enabled them to identify key factors that impact the sustainability of a tourism destination.
The trip also took students to several notable sites, including Monkey Island, Sac Forest, Lang Ong Thuy Tuong (Whale Temple), Can Gio Market, and Hang Duong Market. At each destination, students not only explored the natural landscapes and local culture but also observed and analyzed real-world issues related to resource management, cultural heritage preservation, and livelihood support for local communities.
