New experience with green travel

(GLO)- The trend of new experiences was ranked first in the 7 travel trends of 2025 by Euronews (a pan-European television news network). Tourists seek out unspoiled, little-known destinations to explore and connect deeply with nature.

With its pristine beauty and ecological diversity, Gia Lai is also becoming an ideal destination for those who are passionate about exploring and love nature.

Last April, K50 waterfall and Chu Dang Ya volcano in Gia Lai were selected by the Tourism Information Center (Vietnam National Administration of Tourism) to be included in a clip promoting Vietnam tourism at the P4G Summit - an international event hosted by Vietnam. This is a great opportunity for Gia Lai to develop sustainable tourism.

These two natural masterpieces are also the highlights, contributing to affirming the strength of Gia Lai tourism on the map of "green destinations" of Vietnam. "Deep green forests, clear streams or towering cliffs are things that the city cannot provide... Sometimes, we are too busy with work and modern life that we forget that nature is the greatest teacher.

Simple things like a waterfall, a swallow flying or a trail full of fallen leaves can all bring immeasurable values" - female tourist Phan Thi Hong (group 2, Thong Nhat ward, Pleiku city) shared after a trip with her family to conquer K50 waterfall.

Not only attracting domestic tourists, Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve is also an attractive destination for many international tourists who love to experience slow travel, connect with friendly indigenous communities and explore the deep mysteries in the primeval forest.

The Kon Chu Rang old forest is also considered a precious medicinal herb warehouse with more than 100 species of plants that can be used as medicine. Mr. H'vinh Nut - a tour guide living in the buffer zone of the Kon Ha Nung Plateau World Biosphere Reserve (Dak Asel village, Son Lang commune, Kbang district) shared: "In addition to trekking activities to explore K50 waterfall, checking in at the lonely tree or Kinh Kong head in the Reserve, the tour to experience collecting medicinal herbs is also especially loved by young people".

The remaining part of the two core zones of the Kon Ha Nung Plateau World Biosphere Reserve is Kon Ka Kinh National Park. This is considered a home for birds with endless natural beauty. The most prominent here is the "kingdom" of ancient po mu trees located at an altitude of over 1,400 m in the middle of the primeval forest.

In addition, Kon Ka Kinh National Park also owns a population of thousand-year-old banyan trees and many rare endemic plant species. To explore these “green treasures”, visitors can choose from many trekking routes with increasing difficulty.

According to the experienced guides at Kon Ka Kinh National Park, the more challenging the route, the richer the experience. This is not simply a trip to explore nature but also an opportunity for people to connect deeply and slowly with nature.

Ms. Vu Thi Chinh, a tour guide at Kon Ka Kinh National Park, said: “Experiential tourism needs to go hand in hand with nature and cultural conservation for sustainable development. Therefore, we have conducted surveys to build tours and routes connecting the Park to the buffer zone villages.

At the same time, taking advantage of support from projects to restore traditional occupations and train skills for people, aiming to develop a type of tourism combining culture-nature-life to bring visitors profound and meaningful experiences.

According to a 2024 survey by Thrillist (an online media website that covers travel news), up to 68% of Gen Z prioritize destinations where they can explore new things rather than famous places that have been widely shared on digital platforms.

Gia Lai with green gems such as K50 waterfall, Chu Dang Ya volcano, Kon Ka Kinh National Park... completely meets this need. In addition, the province also owns many other attractive destinations such as: Bien Ho, Ayun Ha lake, Ia Ly lake, Dak Po pine forest, dipterocarp forest ecosystem and traditional cultural villages. The diversity of landscape and culture makes Gia Lai an ideal destination for those who crave new experiences and closeness to nature.

If you are looking for a slow, profound and inspiring journey, come to Gia Lai once, go deep into the forests, touch the fresh nature and slowly feel the true beauty of life.
