Green tourism is a concern of tourists, especially young tourists. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the current status of green tourism among young tourists from Can Tho City, Vietnam. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, with 289 respondents aged 18 to 29, residing in Can Tho and planning to travel within the next 6 months. Convenience sampling and descriptive statistics were used to achieve the research objective. The study's findings indicatethat young tourists from Can Tho exhibit a relatively low awareness of green tourism. However, upon gaining an understanding of green tourism principles, nearly 70% of the respondents expressed their intent to adopt green practices for their upcoming trips. Moreover, despite limited knowledge about green tourism, tourists have demonstrated various environmental conservation behaviors during their travels, such as responsible waste disposal, efficient water usage, and carrying personal items to minimize their environmental impact. An Giang, Kien Giang and Da Lat are among the top four destinations for past and forthcoming trips for the respondents. These findings present encouraging prospects for the advancement of green tourism among young Vietnamese tourists.
