The concepts of responsible travel are growing in importance for more and more travelers, but they have been our guiding principles from the very beginning. This is a high priority for Handspan, and we employ staff to focus solely on these issues.

Tourism growth in the developing world has been impressive, but this too often results in damage to the ecologies and cultures that we all wish to see. Tourism can thus be a mixed blessing, and Handspan works alongside local communities in rural areas to bring economic benefit and to develop tours according to their goals and priorities.

We believe that our business should be a force for sustainable development in Vietnam. This commitment to corporate social responsibility relies on a management system which we designed to guide our internal policies and the relationships along our supply chain. We are the first tour operator in Vietnam to have implemented such a system, and we are proud of this accomplishment.

Our Sustainable Tourism Projects
Besides striving to operate in a more sustainable business environment, we use our tours to support projects in environmentally sensitive areas and to aid local economic development. We feature here some of our most recent projects.

• Capacity building and community-based tourism projects
In Moc Chau we're working alongside local people in a disadvantaged mountainous area to create a beautiful new guesthouse and train locals on managing successful tourism businesses.
In Ngoc Son – Ngo Luong nature reserve we serve the Spanish NGO FPSC in a consulting role for their project of nature conservation and livelihood improvement to organize eco-tours in the Reserve.

• Awareness raising events
The annual Halong Clean Up Tour. Each summer we organize a trip to Halong to remove litter and build awareness of the bay's environmental needs.
The Corporate Football Charity Cup. Organized by Handspan and joined by several other businesses. It is a friendly football competition aiming at raising funds to support street kids of Hanoi.

Our Principles of Responsible Tourism
• Minimize negative impacts by intensive consultation and collaboration with local communities.
• Provide education on environmental and cultural issues among visitors and hosts.
• Promote positive, respectful experiences for both visitors and locals.
• Provide direct financial benefits for conservation and poverty reduction.
• Raise sensitivity to hosts' political, environmental, and social climate.
• Build partnerships with scientific researchers (ecologists, biologists, geographers, anthropologists)
