Ecohost bridges local resources with global travel expertise, creating impactful travel products for our B2B partners
Since 2012, Ecohost Vietnam has partnered with rural communities to reimagine local tourism – not as a service, but as a shared experience between hosts and travelers.
What began with a few homestays outside Hanoi has grown into a network of community-based destinations, where tradition, nature, and hospitality come together to create meaningful, responsible travel experiences. We work closely with local people to co-design travel products, train hosts, and build sustainable operations rooted in cultural identity.
Whether it’s a slow-living escape in the mountains or an immersive village experience near Hanoi, every journey reflects the pride and resilience of the people who call these places home.
We design turnkey community-based itineraries that integrate seamlessly into your existing tours – complete with product details, images, pricing, and commission policies.
From inbound and outbound agencies to domestic operators, we connect you with hundreds of trusted partners through events, trade shows, and real-world site visits.
We co-create programs that blend cultural education, rural retreats, and community team-building – bringing value to local people while creating unforgettable experiences for your clients.
Ecohost partners directly with local communities to develop sustainable, community-owned travel experiences. Each destination is the result of deep collaboration — empowering locals, preserving culture, and co-creating meaningful guest experiences. These are living examples of how responsible tourism drives real change at the grassroots level.
