Abstract

Sustainable tourism development is increasingly becoming an important topic in Vietnam, as the tourism industry continues to develop and expand. Local communities, especially those living in popular tourist destinations such as Sa Pa, can be greatly affected by tourism activities. Therefore, it is important to understand their views on the impact of tourism on their communities and environment and their perceptions of sustainable tourism practices. This study, which aims to explore the views of local communities on sustainable tourism development in Sa Pa, includes: perceptions of local government leaders; tour organizers; and people living in Sa Pa town about the impact of tourism on the community and the environment? How are they aware of sustainable tourism practices? What are the main factors affecting the attitudes of local communities towards sustainable tourism development in Sapa?.
