Trekking for change: Vietnam's hill tribes benefit from ecotourism

 

High on a mountain in northern Vietnam, the fertile wealth of forests and paddies belies the poverty of the people who live among them. Most houses are thin screens of wood with mud floors and no doors. Chickens and pigs wander in and out of the kitchens, and outhouses--when they exist--are often positioned directly over the same streams villagers use for drinking and washing.

 

In the village of Lao Chai, near Sapa, a house stands out: It is sturdy, with concrete floors and an outhouse, and one can hear voices mingling in Vietnamese, French, English and German late into the night. Not long ago it looked like all of the rest, but the family took a big gamble with Handspan Adventure Travel. The family invested money to improve the living conditions and sanitation, and Handspan guides now bring trekkers from around the world to stay. These travelers come bearing laughter, medicine and more money than most families see in a year.

 

While neighboring Southeast Asian countries have long been open to tourism and the influx of Western eyesores, Vietnam only opened its borders to travelers in the late 1980s and, in many parts, village life continues as it has for centuries. The great cultural diversity and history are important draws for many travelers, but the lack of development also creates incredibly poor and unsanitary conditions in many of Vietnam's remote regions.
