within the scope of 4 types of SKH IAa, IAb, IBa, IBb. Of which IBb, IDb account for 44.64% of the total area, and are assessed as potential for developing DLTQ. The results of the assessment of RTL biological criteria, TL DKSKH but ITL landscape and terrain.

i. Ca Mau Peninsula [II.6] Low-lying terrain, little affected by rivers with landscapes of tidal mudflats and coastal saltwater marshes, low-lying fields and inland plains with light acid sulfate soil, brackish water in the rainy season. DK can row a boat into the forests through a dense system of canals, assessing the terrain at the TDTL level. Similar to region II.5, the landscape is quite monotonous, the sea in this area is not favorable for designing a beach due to the characteristics of the muddy material, the sea is not clean (Khai Long) compared to the sea in the Southeast, however, there are small islands with beaches on coastal islands such as Hon Khoai, Hon Da Bac. In winter, the swamps in the forest have flocks of wild ducks, wild geese, geese, cranes, landing on mounds and marshes, creating a very bustling scene. They lay eggs in the grass bushes and are so numerous that people can go boating in one morning to pick up and push a compartment. This form can be combined for PTDL homestay, with a new type that helps visitors both visit and collect bird and duck eggs, so the landscape of TĐTL. Similar to region II.5, this region has RTL biological criteria for developing DLTQ, has a valuable coastal wetland ecosystem in TNB that attracts visitors, which is the National Park - Dat Mui and U Minh Ha Biosphere Reserve (Ca Mau). In which, Dat Mui Biosphere Reserve is an alluvial ecological area, coastal mangrove forests, breeding and resting area of ​​aquatic species in the Gulf of Thailand, a stopover and resting place for many rare migratory birds in the world. In 2009, it was recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve. U Minh Ha National Park is the second national park in Ca Mau, in addition to the unique characteristics of Melaleuca forests on peat soil like U Minh Thuong, "Where is better than the land of Melaleuca forests/ Birds chirping like opera, fish swimming yellow like fish sauce", U Minh Ha National Park is already thrilling through the film Dat Phuong Nam, or the humorous stories of Uncle Ba Phi, the king of Southern lies, recognized by UNESCO as one of the three isolated areas of Mui Ca Mau World Biosphere Reserve. The area is within the scope of 1 type of SKH: IAa,

very hot temperature >26 0 C with lots of rain ranging from 2,200mm - 3,000 mm/year.

The dry season is short, only about 2-3 months, the lowest number of sunny days is only 1892 hours, so ITL allows for the development of DLTQ. In general, the evaluation results of RTL biological criteria, ITL ecological criteria, landscape and terrain criteria of TĐTL

j. The Gulf of Thailand's island system [II.7] These West Coast island systems (Gulf of Thailand) are very close to the mainland, easy to travel, the island terrain is very convenient for moving around the island. Phu Quoc is very unique, stretching from the South to the North of the Island is a system of 99 large and small hills. In addition to the hills, there are also plains, 37,000ha of natural forests with many precious woods and birds. The flora in Phu Quoc National Park is quite rich. The vegetation here is mainly evergreen forests growing on low mountainous terrain with a total number of up to several hundred species, including: large trees (melaleuca, beans, ven ven, song nang oil, sand oil, civet, chestnut, sang sot, da, bua), precious orchids (Lan van hai, Am lan nui, etc.), precious herbs (ha thu o, bi ky nam, licorice, etc.). The fauna is also very diverse with 30 species of animals, of which 5 species are listed in the Vietnam Red Book such as: wild wolves, white monkeys, pille gibbons; 200 species of birds with 4 species listed in the IUCN Red List and 3 species listed in the Vietnam Red Book; 50 species of reptiles, of which 9 species are listed in the IUCN list and 18 species are listed in the domestic Red Book. The sea of ​​Phu Quoc is very rich and diverse, the coral reefs around the islands in the south. These coral reefs account for 41% of the area. The fish fauna in the coral reefs is very rich. This place and Con Dao are the only 2 sea areas with dugongs, an endangered species in the Vietnam Red Book. Around the island are many beautiful beaches such as Truong beach, Kem beach, Ghenh Dau, Rach Tram, Rach Vem. DK can swim in the sea, bathe in streams, bathe in rivers, climb mountains, go into caves, go to the forest where you can observe the lives of wild animals. Suoi Tranh is a famous tourist destination in Phu Quoc with beautiful scenery and cool air all year round of the tropical forest. The area is in a type of SKH IAc. The whole area is in the rainiest area of ​​Southern Vietnam. With the above characteristics of high rainfall and many rainy days, it limits the development of DLTQ, the ITL assessment level. However, if you want to avoid storms, the appropriate tourism season in Phu Quoc is in the dry season from November to April every year. But the best time to visit Phu Quoc is from October to March every year, this is when the sea is calm and the weather is nice. The assessment results in the area of ​​biological criteria, RTL terrain, favorable landscape, and ITL tourism.

k. Sea and island area of ​​the East Coast of the Central Highlands [II.8] The sub-equatorial oceanic climate conditions make this area a type of SKH IAa. The period from March to the end of September is the best time to travel to Con Dao. However, from October to February, although the area

Con Dao sea often has big waves but it is the dry season so there is always good sunshine and it is also the right time to come to Con Dao. Assessment of favorable natural conditions for tourism. The area has many beautiful landscapes such as Dam Trau, Lo Voi, An Hai, Dat Doc beaches, fine white sand and clear blue sea water. Dam Tre Bay with natural landscape, sheltered from the wind, surrounded by mangrove forests. Here, it is possible to develop RNM tourism, snorkeling to see coral, watching swiftlets nesting during the breeding season and many other marine species. On both sides are beautiful landscapes of Con Son Bay, Lo Voi Cape, Dat Doc Beach, Chim Chim Cape, Dong Bac Bay. Con Dao National Park has high ecological diversity. The total area is 15,043 hectares, of which: The part on the island is 6,043 hectares and the sea is

9,000 ha, the National Park has a unique terrestrial vertebrate fauna with many endemic species, 37 species listed in the Vietnam Red Book. On the island there are many primeval forests such as Ong Dung, Hon Tre, Bay Canh primeval forests. The typical flora and fauna are coral reefs and especially sea turtles. The results of the assessment of RTL biological criteria, scenic criteria, DKSKH, and TL terrain.

3.2.1.3. Comprehensive assessment results for tourism development

Based on the average score of each region, NCS divides the favorable level of each region for DLTQ into 4 assessment levels. In the selected criteria, their level of influence on DLTQ is different. Based on the characteristics and requirements of DLTQ (1.2.1.5) and according to expert opinion, the factor with the most important level of influence and role is the landscape, the second is the terrain, the third is the biological factor and climate change . This is the basis for determining the weight of the criteria (Table 3.1) (Appendix 5.1 ) . The results of the assessment of the favorable level of DLTQ, we see that the two regions I.3, II.4 are very favorable. The 4 regions I.1, I.2, II.7, II.8 have a favorable assessment level for DLTQ development. Regions II.3, II.6 are favorable for DLTQ. Regions II.1, II.2, II.5 evaluate ITL for DLTQ.

3.2.2. Evaluation of tourism resources for resort tourism development

3.2.2.1. Building a rating scale for resort tourism

Areas with favorable climate conditions for human health and beautiful natural landscapes are favorable conditions for the development of resort tourism. The South has 7/11 coastal areas, beautiful beaches have long become ideal resorts for domestic and international tourists to relax and restore their health after tiring working days. NCS selected 4 criteria: Bioclimate, beach, terrain and landscape.

a. Bioclimatic criteria

Similar to the assessment for DLTQ, it is necessary to determine the level of convenience of 12 types of SKH serving DLND. For LHDL resort, among the 3 SKH factors, temperature plays the most important role - weight 0.5, rainfall ranks second with weight 0.33, next is the factor of number of rainy days with weight 0.17 (Appendix 5.6)

Based on the results of calculating the level ( Appendix 6.5) and the average score ( Appendix 6.6) of the SKH criteria for implementing DLND. The area of ​​SKH types in the regions is determined based on the results of overlapping between the SKH map and the DLTN zoning map ( Appendix 4). Calculation results ( Appendixes 6.7 and 6.8 ) Region I.3 has SKH types IDd, ICc, ICb accounting for 82.92% of the area, so it is very favorable for developing DLTQ. Regions I.2, II.1, II.2, II.3, II.4, II.8 are favorable for developing DLTQ because they have SKH types IDb, ICb, IBb, IAc accounting for over 50% of the area. Region I.1 has relatively favorable SKH conditions for DLTQ. Regions II.5, II.6 and II.7 are considered less favorable for DLTQ development because the SKH types IIIAa, IIAa, IAa, IBa account for over 50% of the area.

NCS chose to add the TCI climate index to evaluate the resort tourism in the Southern regions because the TCI index is a synthetic climate index, based on the TCI analysis results, it is possible to choose the adaptation time of the DK to the climate conditions.

b. Beach criteria

The attractiveness of beaches depends on the area and material composition of the beach. Beaches that can organize DLND must meet the technical requirements of a beach such as length, width, solid foundation and made of fine sand, gentle slope, and beach capacity. Currently, there are many different ways to determine the capacity of a beach. According to Decision 02/2003/NQ - BTNMT, the standard capacity of a resort beach is determined as follows: Water surface area for tourists: 15 - 20m²/person; Sand area for one tourist: 10 - 15m²/person; Average density of beachgoers during peak times is 4 people/m of coastline. According to JICA, the standard capacity of a beach for LHDL is determined as follows: Minimum capacity is 1 person/10m of coastline, maximum is 2 people/10m of coastline.

Thus, to evaluate the type of beach tourism in the Southern region, the criteria for beaches are determined according to the following criteria, assessment levels and assessment scores:

Determine the physical composition of the beaches based on the geomorphological map of the Southern region and its vicinity and verify it in the field. Determine the capacity based on the length of the beach according to statistical data, measured on the GIS system and also verify it in the field. (Appendix 7)

c. Terrain criteria

Terrain also plays an important role in the formation and implementation of DLND. In addition to being a factor creating the background for landscape and accessibility, terrain is one of three factors that create the characteristics of regional climate. Therefore, coastal terrain areas, islands and mountainous areas have favorable conditions due to cool climates and diverse natural landscapes. For the Southern region, TL terrain areas belong to coastal and island terrain types. Areas I.1 with high mountain and hill terrain, although having cool climate conditions, have limited accessibility, so ITL.

d. Scenic criteria

DLND is closely linked to climate conditions and environmental landscape. Some places have beautiful landscapes, especially large lakes where the terrain is low and gentle, suitable for building resorts, sightseeing, with wide, open water surfaces for active resort activities such as boating, bathing, fishing, etc. The Central Highlands region has a dense system of rivers and canals, diverse cajuput, mangrove, and mangrove plants, providing shade, very favorable for resort tourism such as boating on the river. The Southeast region has mountainous areas with lakes on top such as Chan May Mountain (Vung Tau), Buu Long tourist area (Dong Nai) which are very suitable for resort development. Those areas are considered very favorable for DLND development. The appearance of mineral water and hot water exposure points is very significant for DLND. The amount of minerals in the water source, the water temperature as well as the types of mineral mud accumulated in places where mineral water is exposed also have very good medicinal value such as Binh Chau hot spring.

The level of landscape potential for tourism is built based on the results of assessing the favorable level of natural landscapes for tourism.

3.2.2.2. Conduct assessment for resort tourism

Evaluate the terrain and landscape criteria according to the regions that have been evaluated for DLTQ. Below, the author only evaluates the SKH and beach criteria for each region based on the established criteria. In addition, other factors such as mineral water points and medicinal resources are added in the evaluation of DLND.

a. High hilly area of ​​Binh Duong - Binh Phuoc - Dong Nai [I.1] This is an area without beaches, so the evaluation result of this criterion is 0 points. The climate of this area is not much different from that of Ho Chi Minh City, although the temperature is slightly lower due to the influence of altitude and the manifestation of the dry season is more pronounced, the average dry season is about 4-5 months long. The climate conditions of area I.1 are at the level of TDTL for the development of DLND. The months with favorable TCI index for tourism are 5 months from XI to III, in which TCI is more than >60 in December, January and II, March, TCI reaches good to very good levels. In the planning of tourism seasons, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining months IV, VII, VIII, Ĩ, V, the TCI index is assessed at an acceptable level for tourism activities. The two rainy months are V, VI at the minimum threshold in the year, TCI is not suitable <40 because of heavy rain and strong winds. Especially in June, CID is very low 0.6 high humidity and high temperature makes it difficult to breathe.
