Forever Green Resort was invested and built by Aloe Trading Company LTD (ATC) with its area of 21 hectares, in Phu Khuong hamlet, Phu Tuc commune (Chau Thanh district). Its location adjoined the Tien river, its space was peaceful, gentle and especially still maintained the typical feature of the Ben Tre province‘s orchard in the heart of the tourist area.
We were driven to Area A and Area B of Forever Green Resort by the 4-seat electric buggy. The electric buggy drove us going across vault of green trees which succeeded one by one, grown in lines with gathering branches, shading along the internal streets in the tourist area. It is similar to the outside. The tourist area was surrounded by an array of green trees completely higher than the head of person, grown in lines, created the charming green. The area A consisted of Huynh Gia Trang with the landscape garden, the orchid garden, the vegetable garden, the meeting room containing 200-300 guests, the luxurious beverage area – where the tourists enjoyed not only coffee but also the picturesque landscape. Ornamental fish and big rocks were imported from Japan contributed to create the landscape in the landscape garden. Area B is for hotel including 60 rooms, qualified for 4 stars.

I used to visit the resorts in Phan Thiet (Binh Thuan) for many times. Here, there are the vast blue sea, the brilliant sunshine, the smooth white sand along the coast together with the luxurious resorts hiden from the green coconut line, each of resort and bungalow has a separate space. But with the resort on the Tien river bank, it has a typical feature. There are similar luxurious villas carefully built as the style in the Central, nevertheless, the tourists will enjoy the peaceful space of the river region in the Mekong Delta as well as live in the heart of the region which is rich in fruits. It will be a new experience for tourists.
Along with the eco-tourism route entering Quoi Son – Tan Thach where welcomes the tourists every year, a Phoenix islet turning itself to attract the tourists in the two recent years, Forever Green Resort in Phu Tuc commune will contribute to wing the tourism of coconut land gateway sublimating, increase the charming beauty for Chau Thanh hick – where will become the first culture district of Ben Tre province in 2011.
