The workshop, jointly organized by the Institute for Tourism Development Research under the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism and TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, drew the participation of international and domestic tourism experts and business representatives.

Director of the institute Nguyen Anh Tuan said the workshop aims to encourage tourism firms and hotels to join the fight against the illegal use and trading of wildlife, including rhino horns.

The event also developed a master action plan to protect and reduce wildlife consumption, including the issue in their codes of conduct of the tourism organizations and firms.

Participants heard reports on the role and importance of wild species for biodiversity and habitats; the wildlife use and trading in Vietnam and the world; and related legal documents.
