Description

This two-day immersive program reimagines tourism through community-based learning and regenerative development principles. Rather than traditional guided tours, participants engage directly with local farmers and families in Cam Thanh commune who serve as knowledgeable “tour guides.” Together, you’ll explore Hoi An from cultural, historical, and ecological perspectives while learning about organic agriculture, waste reduction practices, and community-based tourism initiatives. Farm-to-table meals featuring locally-sourced ingredients provide both nourishment and deeper understanding of the local food system. This program prioritizes authentic cultural exchange and meaningful economic benefit for local communities.
