Green tourism in the Ca Mau Peninsula region.
As urban life becomes increasingly hectic, many people seek refuge in nature as a form of healing. In the southernmost part of Vietnam – a land where forest, sky, and sea meet – it has become an ideal destination to breathe fresh air, engage in gentle exercise amidst the lush greenery, and find inner peace.

Spanning over 41,862 hectares, Mui Ca Mau National Park is one of the few areas in the world bordered by the sea on three sides. Continuous alluvial deposits have created vast mudflats and a rich mangrove ecosystem.
Established in 2003 by a decision of the Prime Minister, the park was recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve in 2009 and became the 2088th Ramsar site globally in 2012. With its unique ecological value, Ca Mau Cape is considered a "green treasure," serving both conservation purposes and opening up opportunities for health-related tourism development.

Nature tourism - a form of healing
The trend of "wellness tourism" is becoming increasingly popular. In Ca Mau Cape, this concept is realized through green, clean, and healthy tourism products such as meditating in mangrove forests, deep breathing exercises on the mudflats, or cycling through the forest. Tourists can also hike through the forest, paddle canoes on canals, participate in reforestation, and enjoy the slow pace of life amidst nature. Every step, every breath here becomes a natural therapy that helps rejuvenate the body and mind.

The people are deeply connected to the forest.
The lives of local communities in the Ca Mau Peninsula are closely tied to the water and tidal rhythms. While in the past, forests were primarily exploited for livelihoods, leading to resource depletion and environmental pollution, awareness has now changed. Locals are participating in community-based tourism development, showcasing traditional crafts like shrimp farming and clam harvesting, as well as daily activities associated with the alluvial plains. These experiential tours with locals help visitors understand more about life in the riverine region while also motivating future generations to preserve the forests. As a result, the people have a more stable income and improved health thanks to the cleaner living environment.

The journey from conservation to public health.
Many tourists consider a trip to Ca Mau Cape as a "detox" for the soul. The salty sea air, the calls of birds, the vast green expanse of mangroves and nipa palms... all create an ideal environment for the body to relax and the spirit to be invigorated. From planting trees, rowing boats, watching the sunset at the southernmost point of the country to simply strolling through the forest, each experience brings a rare sense of peace.

The development of these tourism products is the result of persistent efforts by forest protection forces and local authorities. Patrols, awareness campaigns, sustainable livelihood development, and the integration of community-based tourism help raise environmental awareness. Programs such as planting young mangrove trees, collecting waste, and fishing on the mudflats both serve tourists and contribute to ecosystem conservation.
