In the background, since the Eco-Tour company was in operation on last Sept 2005, we have determined a direction to develop. It is “Going together with Ecological tourism”.

Though, it is a quite small and new model at Quang Nam province in general and Hoi An in particular, however, The Authority of Quang Nam province has agreed to license to 2 big ecological tourism projects in Hoi An town at the location: Cua Dai River and Cu Lao Cham Island have been a great motivation for Hoi An Eco-Tour to reinforce its sense of confidence and to firm with its choice.

Besides, we serve our guests with our criterion, the total guest satisfaction is our success of Hoi An Eco-Tour or Your satisfaction, is our success.

We also expect our guests to obey strictly the regulation how to protect and preserve the local environment where they were going to visit. In addition in with that, we also organize for all members of a mass organization as the staff of Hoi An Eco-Tour, local people to carry out collecting garbage’s, clearing disposes on the way to The Water Coconut Palm Paradise, buying and letting all the animals like birds, fish, crab back to The Water Coconut Palm trees where they were hunted by thelocal people and we have also focused tourist feedbacks on our tour operation so that we will assure that we can offer our guest with better service quality.
