</ol>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“REVITALIZING VIETNAM: ENHANCE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM” is the first step in the series of </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sustainations’ actions for sustainable tourism. A key factor of Vietnam’s tourism recovery is to </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">focus on sustainable tourism strategies that drive growth while protecting and appreciating </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">what makes Vietnam a unique travel destination: <strong>People, environment, and culture.</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Vietnam Business Forum’s (VBF) Tourism Working Group’s 5-year Master Plan for </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sustainable Tourism recommends that tourism and hospitality companies <strong>create a </strong><strong>child </strong></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>protection program to sensitize hotel employees on the sexual exploitation </strong><strong>of </strong></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>children from travel and tourism.</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Join us for this special workshop for Vietnamese-speaking tourism and hospitality employees </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">and managers on <strong>The Code </strong>program, a positive, preventive, and easy way for companies to </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">safeguard both children and the tourism industry and help improve sustainability practices.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The workshop will include special talks from:</span>
