Development of Vietnam’s Tourism Policy and Its Direction to Sustainable Development
Main Article Content
Abstract
This review article has five main objectives: to examine the evolution of tourism policy in Vietnam from past to present, to present current strategies for sustainable tourism development in Vietnam, to analyze the impact of Vietnam’s tourism policy on the country’s economic growth, to identify challenges and lessons learned in implementing tourism policy in Vietnam, and to suggest directions for the future development of Vietnam’s tourism industry. This study employs a qualitative study method, focusing on the debate surrounding sustainable tourism development. Through document analysis, the study found that the development of tourism in Vietnam has varied across different periods, Vietnam has established a systematic strategy for sustainable tourism, and Vietnam’s tourism policy significantly impacts the country’s economic growth. Additionally, while Vietnam has improved several measures to promote tourism, many issues remain unresolved. The study suggests that Vietnam should consider long-term development and build resilience to address future challenges in its tourism industry.
