Assessment of bioclimatic conditions for resort tourism and medical tourism in the Southern Asia Region

۞ Conclusion

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

Through the research results, the thesis has drawn the following conclusions:

The SKH in the Southern region is hot and quite uncomfortable (according to DI and RSI standards). However, if we compare and analyze individual weather factors on human health, as well as put these indicators into analysis for people who have adapted to the climate (Vietnamese people, and tourists in tropical areas) and normal people (aged 15-50), the SKH conditions in the Southern region are generally favorable for resort tourism and medical tourism.

The period of favorable weather conditions for tourism is quite long.

There are differences in the SKH conditions in the Southern region between the two sub-regions: the Southeast and the Mekong Delta and between localities in the region. In general, the SKH in the Southeast is more favorable for resort and medical tourism than in the Mekong Delta; especially resort and medical tourism in mountainous areas and island areas.

The most favorable locations for developing resort tourism in the Southern mountainous region are: Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh.

Favorable locations for developing resort tourism in coastal and island areas are: Vung Tau, Con Dao. Ca Mau and Phu Quoc areas are less favorable.

The favorable locations for developing resort tourism in the inland delta are: Soc Trang, Can Tho. Ho Chi Minh City area is less favorable.

An Giang is a very special area: it has the potential to develop resort and medical tourism in the mountains, and the potential to develop resort and medical tourism in the plains.

۞ Recommendations

The thesis conducted a survey of 10 localities out of a total of 19 stations.

meteorological data. However, the number of localities surveyed is still too small. Therefore, the students suggest that in the next studies, it is necessary to conduct a full survey of stations in the Southern sub-region.

The data collected was only for 5 years, so it did not provide a deep assessment of the SKH conditions in the Southern region. Therefore, subsequent studies should use data over a longer period of time (the longer the better).

Due to limited time and ability, the thesis has not yet built a map of SKH adaptation in the Southern region. It is recommended that further studies should carry out this content.

When studying SKH, there needs to be coordination as well as consultation with climatologists, ecologists, medical experts and experts in related fields.

Although the composite SKH index RSI also shows the difference in SKH between localities in the Southern sub-region, this difference is not very clear (because the localities in the region, especially the localities in the Mekong Delta sub-region, are almost similar in terms of terrain and climate). Therefore, in subsequent studies, the student suggests using other indexes to calculate the SKH conditions in the Southern region.

Although the thesis only studies the SKH of 10 localities in the Southern region and with data for only 5 years, the content of the thesis has clarified the content of SKH; the thesis also provides and calculates some indicators to evaluate the synthesis of SKH, so the thesis can be used as a reference document for teaching about SKH, as a basis for consulting on planning as well as organizing tourism activities in the Southern region.
