Dong Nai - an ecotourism destination

When people think of Dong Nai, they often picture one of the most vibrant industrial centers in the country. However, hidden behind the hustle and bustle of factories and enterprises is a lush, vibrant green landscape. Especially after merging with Binh Phuoc province – a region with vast agricultural land and a rich ecosystem of forests, rivers, streams, lakes, and dams – Dong Nai is gradually asserting its position as a leading eco-tourism destination, with its fruit orchard tourism model being the strongest attraction for visitors.

Unlike the alluvial plains of the Southwestern region of Vietnam, Dong Nai boasts fertile red basalt soil and a mild climate, surrounded by the extensive Dong Nai and Be rivers and numerous natural lakes. This creates favorable conditions for the development of lush, year-round fruit orchards.

In recent years, Dong Nai province has seen the formation and development of large-scale fruit-growing areas combined with tourism, such as Long Khanh, known as the fruit kingdom with specialties like rambutan, durian, and mangosteen; Long Thanh and Nhon Trach, famous for their strawberry gardens and riverside ecological zones; and the tea plantation and fruit orchard experiences at My Le Eco-tourism Area and Qua Dieu Vang Tourist Farm.

While farmers previously focused solely on agriculture, many farming households have now shifted significantly towards an economic model that combines agriculture with ecotourism in their orchards. This model offers dual benefits, both preserving green spaces and contributing to increased income for local people. Tourists, especially those from large cities, seek out ecotourism in Dong Nai as a way to heal and escape the smog and noise of urban life.

However, ecotourism in Dong Nai's orchards has not developed to its full potential; many orchards operate in a fragmented manner, lacking professional service skills, and the accommodation options are not diverse. Notably, tourists only flock during the fruit ripening season, with a significant decrease in visitor numbers during the rest of the year…

Developing orchard ecosystems in conjunction with tourism is not only a green livelihood for farmers but also a strategic direction for harmonious development between the economy and nature conservation. Preserving the greenery of the orchards and cherishing every visitor's experience is the "key" to the take-off of tourism in Dong Nai.
