Hue Local Tour is rooted in the community and thus, after deducting for costs, tour revenue goes to our charity funding, the Hue Foundation. Building on the sustainable tourism activities of Hue Local Tour, in mid-2019 Bem Nguyen, founded the Hue Foundation Charity Fund with the objective of assisting families suffering the consequences of the Vietnamese wars. We wanted to dedicate a portion of the charity’s funds to establish a scholarship fund for academically inclined children of our community who required financial assistance to attend school.
