Inside Story : Advancing green growth in the tourism sector : The case of Hue, Vietnam

This executive summary describes a project led by the Asian Institute of Technology, Chiang Mai Municipality, and the Hue Centre for International Cooperation to reduce the carbon footprint of tourism in Hue, Vietnam, while maintaining local development benefits.

• Sustainable tourism development in Hue is significantly shaped by national government frameworks, which are then adapted to fit local conditions.
• A participatory local process identified the promotion of 'garden houses' as a climate mitigation strategy that provides environmental, economic, and cultural benefits and supports other low carbon initiatives like non-motorised transport.
• While local green tourism initiatives in Hue can address emissions within the city, they do not address the emissions generated by tourists traveling to the location.
