Meet Origin Travel Team, your local connection in Vietnam. We’re proud to be able to welcome you to our country, and give you the opportunity to witness the lives, the hardships and the happiness of the Vietnamese people, as well as the truly individual nature of the our country. Origin Travel Team committed working closely with local communities, to ensure that tourism brings positive benefits to them without damaging their traditional way of life.

Origin Travel Goal:

A small thing we do on our tours can make a big difference, so everyone at Origin Travel, we strive our best to minimize the impacts while giving maximum enjoyment from your traveling experience.
With our commitment to the communities and environments in which we visit, we seek to preserve the regions’ timeless traditions, cultural heritage, and fragile habitats. This is evident throughout our vacation experiences, and paves the way for unforgettable travel experiences.  The vast majority of our luxury vacations are led by local guides using local suppliers for transportation, accommodation in environmentally-friendly Vietnam Hotels and local activities. We also contribute to local charities and reputable projects worldwide.Our main goal is to Promote responsible travel and Eco-tourism, help support sustainable development, educate our travelers and help protect the cultures and environments they visit.

In our quest to support sustainable tourism worldwide, we will do our best to ensure that your children and their children are able to enjoy their vacation as much as the ones we offer you today. We recognize that demonstrating responsible business practices towards the environment and the communities within which we operate is key to our achievement of this long term goal.

Origin Travel Responsibility

Every time we travel, whether by car, train, plane or coach, we are burning fossil fuels and contributing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And while there are many ways to travel while on vacation, we are pleased to advise that by choosing one of our many travel experiences, you are opting for one of the most environmentally friendly ways in which to do it.

With constant improvements in technology newer engines offer greater fuel efficiency while also emitting less pollutants. We are reducing the carbon footprints and environmental impact in our offices by introducing recycling, energy reduction and waste minimization projects as well as supporting local community projects where we live and work. Our staff are proud to be involved in making a difference by spending some of their time volunteering in charitable projects.

We understand that Halong Bay – World Natural Heritage – is our invaluable asset.

Ongoing economic development, especially tourism, is placing a lot of pressure on the environment of Halong Bay. We believe that developing businesses should be connected with environment protection in creating a sustainable harmony. Consequently the products and services of  Halong Bay Junk are always associated with environment protection through our programme, ‘For a Green Halong’ run in cooperation with the Halong Bay Management Board.

Through joining Halong Bay tours, tourists actively contribute to the protection of our heritage. Sail on a row boat or fish with local fisherman to share the benefits of tourism with them, thereby increasing their income and reducing excessive fishing. Join our mangrove forestation tour, or participate in our programme to replace foam floats with plastic ones, etc. Indochina Junk also participates in awareness raising campaigns on how to protect Halong Bay. This includes rubbish collection projects in Vung Vieng fishing village, and a project to plant 5 hectares of mangrove swamp in Cong Dam to protect the local ecosystem. This has brought a new face to the fishing villages on the bay.

In keeping with the above spirit, we wish that along with developing attractive services and providing the best leisure experiences for tourists, our Halong Bay will be protected and preserved for future generations

Great Impact:

Community Support: You will see, on this cruise, quite a number of local people involved in our tourism activities, we try to benefit them as much as we can including using the labour, their food, their local guide services, etc…

Environment: It’s our responsibility and also the villagers’ to take care of the environment in this beautiful Bay, we’ve been in partnership with the local authority, local people to clean part of the Bay, at the place they are living and where we are cruising through.

Thank you for your support!
