The Swiss Tourism for Sustainable Development in Vietnam (ST4SD) project, funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), aims to develop Vietnam’s tourism industry in a more sustainable and inclusive manner. As part of Switzerland’s economic development cooperation activities in Vietnam, the project is jointly implemented by Helvetas Vietnam and Cred Agriculture and Tourism Solutions Consulting Company Limited (CRED). The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has appointed the Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT) as the project owner.
The ST4SD project supports the drafting and recommendation of relevant policies and enhances public-private dialogue at both national and local levels; develops and promotes the Swiss EHT between Swiss partners and qualified Vietnamese training institutions; and establishes a network of tourism industry experts from Switzerland and Vietnam. At the same time, the project promotes innovative ideas for businesses and destinations to enhance sustainability (including the development of sustainability standards). In the long term, the ST4SD project will support the creation of new livelihoods and sustainable economic development in Vietnam.
During more than 3-year implementing in Vietnam, Component 2 has chosen 30 master instructors from 7 pilot partner training institutes. In 2026, ST4SD is supporting the training institutes to expand the market and seek the targeted audience.
ST4SD is looking for master instructors certified by EHL to deliver the Swiss EHT program in Vietnam.
