Dear Eco-Travellers,

The 4-point vision of Asia Ecolodge is manifested beautifully at Can Tho Ecolodge. Our strong philosophy governs all of our operations including construction, nature and the preservation of local culture.

• Closeness to Nature In both a physical and spiritual sense, guests of Can Tho Ecolodge will find themselves located at the centre of the Mekong Delta’s natural splendour. Not only is this demonstrated by our location mere walking distance away from wide rivers, thick jungle and tropical fruit gardens, but also from the natural, renewable materials that we use throughout the rooms. Stone, wood, leaves, and bamboo all come from the local environment and provide our guests with an immersive Mekong experience.
• Environmental Protection Along with the use of sustainable construction materials, our care for the environment stretches to the energy we use throughout our resolutely green accommodation in the Mekong Delta. Can Tho Ecolodge works on a diet of solar energy, natural water, and biomass energy, with efforts to keep waste to an absolute minimum. Any by-products of our operations are recycled and safely fed back into the environment wherever possible.
• Cultural Preservation Our commitment to keeping alive the fabulous traditions of the Mekong Delta is evidenced in our construction. Wooden, red brick and palm-leaf architecture is matched in beauty with amenities made of stone and a décor celebrating local culture, all sourced from local artisans in a bid to continue their ancient trades. The restaurant champions the delectable cuisine of the delta with a huge selection of local delicacies, while our Khmer staff display their unique and ancient culture through nightly dances soaked in tradition.
• Responsible Tourism In the same vein as our support for local artisan businesses, Can Tho Ecolodge promotes responsible tourism through its hiring of underpriveleged residents amongst our community. We take our responsibility to the Mekong locals and their homeland very seriously and encourage guests to do the same by offering them a tree to plant at the lodge. All of our tours carry an eco-friendly message and benefit locals financially and culturally.
