Some green tourism trends include conservation and recycling, the use of renewable energy and support for nature conservation projects, eco-friendly tourism, meditation and spiritual tourism, and community-based tourism.
For Thanh Thanh Cong Hospitality Joint Stock Company (TTC Hospitality, a member of TTC Group), sustainable green tourism development is part of the business strategy.
Especially, for TTC World - Valley of Love and TTC World - Ta Cu, two destinations in two green areas of Lam Dong province and Binh Thuan province with diverse flora and fauna, forest conservation, green areas, and biodiversity here is one of the important topics in the unit's sustainable development strategy.
Determining that tourism development can have a positive impact on the sustainable development of forests, trees, and nature conservation, TTC Hospitality has made efforts both internally and externally, including policies on environmental management and awareness raising, the preservation of local cultural identity for employees as well as calling for local residents’ participation.

Add green areas for tourism
At TTC World - Valley of Love, there are annual tree planting programs to increase the number of forest trees as well as green areas for tourism purposes, and at the same time accompany Lam Dong province to implement the Plan 2209 which aims to plant 50 million trees in the province in the period of 2021 – 2025.
Specifically, TTC World - Valley of Love organizes tree planting on anniversaries such as President Ho Chi Minh's Birthday (May 19), Sowing Seeds of Love Volunteer Program (August), and Celebration of the establishment of TTC Lam Dong (November 29) and together with the People's Committee of Ward 8, Da Lat City planted trees to green the city and maintain the natural landscape...
Up to now, TTC World - Valley of Love has over 200 types of trees with a total number of nearly 300,000 trees. Therefore, TTC World - Valley of Love is not only a long-standing, famous tourist area in Da Lat city with various recreational activities, but also a romantic destination with lush greenery.
In particular, in the accompanying programs of marathons held at TTC World - Valley of Love, the tourist area also actively participates in planting trees at the tourist area along with the organizers. This not only creates a beautiful space but also contributes to minimizing the impact of climate change.
TTC World – Valley of Love currently has nearly 60 landscape categories for tourists to visit and experience. However, the infrastructure construction and renovation are all guaranteed to be in harmony with the natural landscape and absolutely do not affect the maintenance and development of the natural pine forests in the tourist area.
Preserving biodiversity
TTC World - Ta Cu tourist area is located at Ta Cu mountain - a national scenic spot in Binh Thuan province. Ta Cu Mountain is not only famous for its majestic and poetic scenery but also known for its rich biodiversity with diverse fauna and flora.
At Ta Cu, there are recorded 287 animal species and nearly 200 insect species, including at least 32 rare and endangered animal species such as black-shanked douc, Truong Son silver langur, red-faced monkey, long-tailed macaque, purple pheasant, red cashew chicken, flower monitor, crab, worm frog...
Within the premises of TTC World - Ta Cu, at the foot of the mountain, the tourist area has planted 4 more types of trees with a total of nearly 1,200 trees. This contributes to creating more green areas under the mountain and providing an entertainment space close to nature for visitors.

According to the orientation, TTC World - Ta Cu will develop eco-spiritual tourism, so maintaining vegetation diversity is also part of the tourist site's development strategy.
Preserving and protecting biodiversity here is not only a local task but also has international value in preserving rare animals and the natural environment. In developing new tourism models/products, TTC World - Ta Cu is based on the foundation of preserving natural elements and traditional indigenous culture.
Specifically, transportation at Ta Cu prioritizes eco-friendly options to limit emissions. In addition, training staff and raising awareness among visitors about responsible behavior towards the environment and local culture are also highly valued by TTC World - Ta Cu.
Through creating exciting travel experiences and ensuring the conservation and protection of the natural environment, TTC Hospitality hopes that green tourism will become a source of inspiration for everyone, awakening awareness and responsibility of the community towards the environment.
