In the context of the tourism industry undergoing a robust transformation toward sustainable development, equipping students with not only academic knowledge but also an environmentally and socially responsible mindset has become increasingly essential. Driven by the desire to provide students with fresh perspectives, update industry trends, and bridge academic theory with professional practice, the Faculty of Tourism at Van Hien University (VHU) successfully organized the workshop "Green Tourism & Mental Well-being," attracting strong interest and active participation from faculty members, industry experts, and students.
The workshop served as an open academic forum where learners gained access to up-to-date insights on green tourism, sustainable development, and mental health through practical shareings from seasoned speakers in tourism, management, and wellness care. The event unfolded in a vibrant atmosphere with dynamic discussions and interactive Q&A sessions, enabling students not only to absorb knowledge but also to proactively voice their perspectives and connect with industry professionals.
A central highlight of the program was clarifying the pivotal role of green tourism in the strategic development of the modern tourism sector. The speakers analyzed global and domestic sustainable tourism trends, emphasizing the shared responsibility of enterprises, hospitality professionals, and travelers in protecting the environment, optimizing natural resources, preserving indigenous cultural values, and generating positive social impact. Through these discussions, students gained a deeper understanding that tourism development extends beyond economic growth to encompass corporate social responsibility, ecosystem preservation, and long-term sustainability.
Beyond specialized tourism topics, the workshop addressed another highly anticipated subject: mental health in study, work, and daily life. Amid rising academic pressure, technological overload, and the fast-paced nature of modern living, nurturing mental well-being is increasingly recognized as a vital factor in maintaining positive energy and holistic personal development. The guest speakers shared actionable self-care techniques, including meditation, mindful breathing, nature connection, balanced lifestyle cultivation, and emotional management. These insights provided students with practical tools for self-care while fostering a healthy mindset, self-compassion, and a commitment to spreading positive values within the community.
Notably, the workshop illuminated the profound connection between nature, mental health, and the future trajectory of the tourism industry. Emerging models such as Healing Tourism, ecotourism, nature-based experiential tourism, and community-based tourism are gaining significant momentum worldwide, unlocking diverse career avenues for future tourism professionals. Grounded in real-world case studies and inspiring professional journeys, students derived newfound motivation to pursue continuous learning, sharpen their vocational competencies, and prepare themselves to meet the evolving demands of the labor market in the era of green transition.
More than an academic exchange, the event cultivated a meaningful networking bridge connecting the university, industry partners, experts, and students. Direct dialogues successfully narrowed the gap between theory and practice, encouraging students to boldly express their viewpoints, develop critical thinking, and define clearer career trajectories. This activity directly reflects Van Hien University’s core educational orientation: aligning training with societal needs, emphasizing holistic competency development, and nurturing a generation of socially responsible citizens.
Through this workshop, the Faculty of Tourism aims to powerfully convey the message of a "Green Living – Positive Thinking – Community Responsibility" ethos, elevating student awareness of sustainable development both in their academic pursuits and daily lives. The knowledge and experiences gained will serve as a solid foundation for students to continue learning, conducting research, innovating, and contributing meaningfully to the future development of Vietnam’s tourism industry.
The Faculty of Tourism extends its deepest gratitude to the guest speakers for dedicating their valuable time to the program. Their passionate contributions, real-world experience, and insightful expertise brought immense practical value, inspiring students on their academic and professional journeys. The Faculty also sincerely thanks all participating students whose enthusiastic engagement fostered an intellectually vibrant, open, and impactful atmosphere.
Looking ahead, the Faculty of Tourism will continue to organize academic events, symposiums, and specialized workshops featuring international and domestic experts, corporate partners, and industry leaders. These initiatives aim to create optimal conditions for students to access cutting-edge knowledge, expand their professional networks, and enhance their practical capabilities—underscoring VHU's learner-centric, practice-oriented, and constantly innovating educational philosophy in an era of global integration.
Although the workshop "Green Tourism & Mental Well-being" has concluded, its core values will continue to resonate. It is hoped that every VHU student will become an ambassador for green living—cherishing nature, prioritizing mental health, and pursuing lifelong learning to contribute toward a sustainable, humane, and culturally rich tourism industry.
