What are Vietnam’s eco-tourism destinations perfect for adventure seekers?

Vietnam is beautiful, with the nicest natural surroundings and the gentlest people. The whole world loves Vietnam, and there's no doubt about it. Tourism is one of the main industries in Vietnam, and it's rapidly embracing the concept of ecotourism. It has several ecotourism destinations that sustainable tourists would love to explore, and this article is entirely about them. 

-Vietnam and Ecotourism 

Sustainable travel is a concept that you often hear about. Isn't it? Eco-tourism is a concept that goes in line with this concept where travellers get to explore the beauty of destinations without harming the beauty of mother nature. 

Vietnam is a country blessed with forests, wetlands, mountains, beaches and river deltas. Through ecotourism initiatives, it's attempted to preserve these amazing natural resources for the next generations. 

-Tam Dao National Park, Vietnam 

When you travel about 80km away from Hanoi, you come across the ever-beautiful Tam Dao National Park which is located in Vinh Phuc. It's a natural attraction that you can explore throughout the year, but the best time to visit it would be during the summer. 

Tam Dao National Park is blessed with over 2000 species of plants and eight sorts of different forests. Added to that is the beautiful and amazing flora system.

Located on Cat Ba Island, Cat Ba National Park is one of the key ecotourism hubs that's blessed with a mangrove ecosystem, marine biosphere and terrestrial forest. When you are here, you get the rare chance to spot the white-faced monkey (they call it 'Vooc'). It's considered one of the most endangered primate species in the world.
