Proposal

Social Change:
Sustainable tourism and community-based tourism development require both practical experience, and theoretical framework, and analytical skills. To sustain and upscale the Social enterprise and its CBT model, we need to be equipped with additional knowledge to deliver sustainability and innovation outcomes through working in a variety of managerial, operational, policy, planning, and research roles.

We has been supporting 18 CBT villages in 4 provinces of Vietnam (Hoa Binh, Son La, Phu Tho, Dien Bien) which benefited more than six thousand people, among which nearly 700 local community people directly engaged in CBT. The models have welcomed about 30,000 visitors, including 7,500 international, who have experienced a unique travel while making a lasting social impact in the communities. AOP is becoming increasingly well-known for its expertise in CBT development.

Social Idea:
Develop sustainable CBT models;
Provide consultation to a wide range of shared value partners looking for CBT technical consultancy, management model, product development and marketing;
Provide technical and managerial capacity building training on CBT for communities and stakeholders;
Build a network of CBT practitioners, CBT communities and CBT developers in Vietnam to connect them with regional and international networks.
