COMMITMENT


I hereby declare that this is the author's personal scientific research product, not copied from any other authors' topics. The purpose of the topic is to study the development potential of river tourism products in Ho Chi Minh City. All documents and survey data in the thesis are for research purposes and not for other purposes. I take full responsibility for the above commitments.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

During my graduate studies and my graduation thesis, I received instruction from teachers inside and outside the Faculty of Tourism of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi, enthusiastic guidance from my supervisors, and support from my colleagues working at local tourism companies and the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to:

- Board of Directors, Graduate School, Faculty of Tourism and all lecturers inside and outside the Faculty of Tourism, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi.

- Board of Directors, colleagues at travel companies and Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism.

In particular, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Dinh Hoe, lecturer at Hanoi University of Science, for creating favorable conditions and providing direct guidance so that I could successfully complete my thesis.

The thesis has been completed, but due to limited research time and limited personal level, it is inevitable that there are certain shortcomings. We look forward to receiving valuable comments from teachers and experts to improve the thesis.

Thank you very much!
