By Nguyen Thi My Linh, Student of Tourism Class K12, Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Vietnam
The research on community-based tourism in Pu Luong, conducted by Nguyen Thi My Linh—a student from the Tourism K12 class at Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports, and Tourism—provides a clear perspective on the trend of sustainable tourism development integrated with local cultural preservation. The project focuses on a survey of 34 tourism establishments and 123 tourists, analyzing the use of eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, wood, natural stone, and palm leaves. These elements contribute to creating spaces that harmonize with nature while preserving the authentic identity of the highlands.
Through this study, Nguyen Thi My Linh highlights the growing potential for community-based tourism in Pu Luong, while also identifying challenges regarding investment costs, community awareness, and supportive policies. Beyond demonstrating academic rigor, the research reflects the sense of responsibility held by tourism students toward the demands of sustainable development.
