Nguyen Thao Nguyen and her small but mighty team at Magnolia Sustainable Experiences located in the capital city of Hanoi offers local Vietnamese agricultural communities a deeply empowering opportunity to bring the world closer to their unique environment via mindful and sustainable tourism. Through an educational lens, Nguyen brings international and local tourists into an intimate setting that allows them to sample the uniqueness of that specific community’s cuisine, art and cultural landscape while supporting that community with a way to bridge the gap between isolation and recognition, and integration.
Nguyen and Magnolia are able to create mutually beneficial opportunities for the members of that community to expand their own global awareness while taking advantage of ways to increase the quality of their lives and add a variety of systemic benefits to the entire community lasting long into the future for generations to come.
Community Based Tourism (CBT) is fast becoming a vehicle that provides all who participate with a path to share cultural gifts that enrich each others lives while drawing attention to Vietnamese locations and people who might otherwise never be exposed to the world at large and the potential for expanding their awareness of all the possibilities that lay ahead of them. The CBT model allows for people to discover each other and enjoy rich experiences that offers outlying Vietnamese communities incredible opportunities to explore their curiosities about life and the world they live in while instilling confidence in themselves through the pride they take in presenting their ways and wares. A win, win, win situation that benefits all.
