I would also like to express my gratitude to the teachers at the Graduate Training Institute of Hong Bang International University, Ho Chi Minh City, who helped and created favorable conditions for me to conduct field surveys, collect documents and complete the topic.

I would like to thank the management staff, staff of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Promotion Center, Ho Chi Minh City Statistics Office, District 8 People's Committee, District 8 Department of Culture and Information, historical - cultural relics and agencies... for their enthusiastic help and providing a lot of useful information for my thesis topic.

However, the process of implementing the topic also encountered many difficulties in updating and checking information, so it is inevitable that there are shortcomings. I look forward to receiving comments from teachers.
