(TRAVPR.COM) VIETNAM - January 26th, 2016 - Situated on one of the most beautiful islands on the Mekong River, Cai Be Town, Tien Giang Province, Mekong Rustic stands beside Cai Be floating market among fruit gardens which emphasize the beautiful but seldom visited rural areas on this side of the Mekong River.

With 80 per cent of the Vietnamese population living in the countryside, visitors to Vietnam are rarely given the opportunity to peek beneath the veil of this age-old-culture. It is our goal to set a benchmark in ecotourism here that can be replicated throughout the region. In order to do this, we need to continue to show our guests how most Vietnamese actually live, far removed from tourist hot spots which dot the country.

We also offer 2 home stays choices containing 7 rooms with standard facilities. Our home stays represent a true slice of traditional life of the Mekong people, albeit a rapidly vanishing traditional life. It was built to highlight the culture, aesthetics and historical realities of the area's past which are in stark contrast to the rapidly changing present. Mr Hai and Uncle Ut are warm and welcoming home stay hosts and offer simple yet comfortable living accommodation within their families. You will have opportunities to experience life here with touching, friendly local people and a wealth of activities both inside (family works, cooking and exchange culture) and outside (gardening, farming and cycling around).

The first responsibility is to our guests and partners. We try my best to provide the best quality products and services. And bookings must be promptly attended too. The second responsibility is to local people who work with us, they must have a sense of security in their jobs. The third responsibility is to Mekong Rustic Management who make outstanding things for our guests. The fourth responsibility is to the local communities and authorities. We will support eco-tourism, environmental friendly project and local charity. We promote civic improvements, health, education, invest back into the local communities and make them part of the development of responsible Tourism.

Mekong Rustic has been committed to offering low-impact tours that benefit traveler and host alike. We work with local communities, businesses and individuals to develop sustainable tourism opportunities that help local economies while minimizing negative environmental and cultural impacts.

Our travel programs show our travelers how most Vietnamese actually live, far removed from tourist hot pots which dot the country and encourages all travelers to bring with them their favorite novel and donate to schools. Travelers are also highly encouraged to pen their personal thoughts inside the books. These are words of hope and form the basis of cultural exchanges between differing nations.
