CONCLUSION, PROBLEMS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Conclusion
Xuan Thuy National Park mangrove forest has a very diverse biological resource, according to previous research documents, quick surveys and quick interviews with experts in the field, showing that Xuan Thuy National Park mangrove forest has 2 types of sub-soil vegetation of mangrove forest, 8 types of plant communities, 181 species of floating animals, 112 species of floating plants, 156 species of fish, 219 species of birds and many other species. Of which, birds are the most numerous species, accounting for 26.94% of the total number of species.
The investigation results show that the composition of mangrove plants is relatively simple, consisting of only a few main species: Trang, Bần chua, Sú, Vết, Tra giá, Coc khen, Casuarina... but the composition in saltwater areas is lower than in brackish water areas because brackish water areas have low salinity, so they can easily adapt to more types of plants.

of the islanders. Therefore, this indicator will be divided into two sub-indicators:
a1. Natural tourism attractiveness a2. Cultural tourism attractiveness
b. Tourist capacity
The two island communes in Quan Lan have different capacities to receive tourists. Minh Chau Commune is home to many standard hotels and resorts, attracting high-income domestic and international tourists. Meanwhile, Quan Lan Commune has many motels mainly built and operated by local people, so the scale and quality are not high, and will be suitable for ordinary tourists such as students.
c. Time of exploitation of Quan Lan Island Commune:
Quan Lan tourism is seasonal due to weather and climate conditions and festivals only take place on certain days of the year, specifically in spring. In Quan Lan commune, the period from April to June and from September to November is considered the best time to visit Quan Lan because the cultural tourism activities are mainly associated with festivals taking place during this time.
Minh Chau island commune:
Tourism exploitation time is all year round, because this is a place with a number of tourist attractions with diverse ecosystems such as Bai Tu Long National Park Research Center, Tram forest, Turtle Laying Beach, so besides coming to the beach for tourism and vacation in the summer, Minh Chau will attract research groups to come for tourism combined with research at other times of the year.
d. Sustainability
The sustainability of ecotourism sites in Quan Lan and Minh Chau communes depends on the sensitivity of the ecosystems to climate changes.
landscape. In general, these tourist destinations have a fairly high level of sustainability, because they are natural ecosystems, planned and protected. However, if a large number of tourists gather at certain times, it can exceed the carrying capacity and affect the sustainability of the environment (polluted beaches, damaged trees, animals moving away from their habitats, etc.), then the sustainability of the above ecosystems (natural ecosystems, human ecosystems) will also be affected and become less sustainable.
e. Location and accessibility
Both island communes have ports to take tourists to visit from Van Don wharf:
- Quan Lan – Van Don traffic route:
Phuc Thinh – Viet Anh high-speed boat and Quang Minh high-speed boat, depart at 8am and 2pm from Van Don to Quan Lan, and at 7am and 1pm from Quan Lan to Van Don. There are also wooden boats departing at 7am and 1pm.
- Van Don - Minh Chau traffic route:
Chung Huong high-speed train, Minh Chau train, morning 7:30 and afternoon 13:30 from Van Don to Minh Chau, morning 6:30 and afternoon 13:00 from Minh Chau to Van Don.
f. Infrastructure
Despite receiving investment attention, the issue of infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism on Quan Lan Island is still an issue that needs to be resolved because it has a direct impact on the implementation of ecotourism activities. The minimum conditions for serving tourists such as accommodation, electricity, water, communication, especially medical services, and security work need to be given top priority. Ecotourism spots in Minh Chau commune are assessed to have better infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism because there are quite complete and synchronous conditions for serving tourists, meeting many needs of domestic and foreign tourists.
3.2.1.4. Determine assessment levels and assessment scales
Corresponding to the levels of each criterion, the index is the score of those levels in the order of 4, 3, 2, 1 decreasing according to the standard of each level: very attractive (4), attractive (3), average (2), less attractive (1).
3.2.1.5. Determining the coefficients of the criteria
For the assessment of DLST in the two communes of Quan Lan and Minh Chau islands, the students added evaluation coefficients to show the importance of the criteria and indicators as follows:
Coefficient 3 with criteria: Attractiveness, Exploitation time. These are the 2 most important criteria for attracting tourists to tourism in general and eco-tourism in particular, so they have the highest coefficient.
Coefficient 2 with criteria: Capacity, Infrastructure, Location and accessibility . Because the assessment area is an island commune of Van Don district, the above criteria are selected by the author with appropriate coefficients at the average level.
Coefficient 1 with criteria: Sustainability. Quan Lan has natural and human-made ecotourism sites, with high biodiversity and little impact from local human factors. Most of the ecotourism sites are still wild, so they are highly sustainable.
3.2.1.6. Results of DLST assessment on Quan Lan island
a. Assessment of the potential for natural tourism development
For Minh Chau commune:
+ Natural tourism attractiveness is determined to be very attractive (4 points) and the most important coefficient (coefficient 3), so the score of the Attractiveness criterion is 4 x 3 = 12.

Basically, both Minh Chau and Quan Lan localities have quite favorable conditions for developing ecotourism. However, Quan Lan commune has more advantages to develop ecotourism in a humanistic direction, because this is an area with many famous historical relics such as Quan Lan Communal House, Quan Lan Pagoda, Temple worshiping the hero Tran Khanh Du, ... along with local festivals held annually such as the wind praying ceremony (March 15), Quan Lan festival (June 10-19); due to its location near the port and long exploitation time, the beaches in Quan Lan commune (especially Quan Lan beach) are no longer hygienic and clean to ensure the needs of tourists coming to relax and swim; this is also an area with many beautiful landscapes such as Got Beo wind pass, Ong Phong head, Voi Voi cave, but the ability to access these places is still very limited (dirt hill road, lots of gravel and rocks), especially during rainy and windy times; In addition, other natural resources such as mangrove forests and sea worms have not been really exploited for tourism purposes and ecotourism development. On the contrary, Minh Chau commune has more advantages in developing ecotourism in the direction of natural tourism, this is an area with diverse ecosystems such as at Rua De Beach, Bai Tu Long National Park Conservation Center...; Minh Chau beach is highly appreciated for its natural beauty and cleanliness, ranked in the top ten most beautiful beaches in Vietnam; Minh Chau commune is also home to Tram forest with a large area and a purity of up to 90%, suitable for building bridges through the forest (a very effective type of natural ecotourism currently applied by many countries) for tourists to sightsee, as well as for the purpose of studying and researching.

3.2.2. Using SWOT matrix to evaluate Quan Lan island tourism
General assessment of current tourism activities of Quan Lan island is shown through the following SWOT matrix:
Table 3.5: SWOT matrix evaluating tourism activities on Quan Lan island
Internal agent
Strengths- There is a lot of potential for tourism development, especially natural ecotourism and humanistic ecotourism.- The unskilled labor force is relatively abundant.- resource environmentunpolluted, still
Weaknesses- Poorly developed infrastructure, especially traffic routes to tourist destinations on the island.- The team of professional staff is still weak.- Tourism products in general
quite wild, originalintact
general and DLST in particularalone is monotonous.
External agents
Opportunity- Tourism is a key industry in the socio-economic development strategy of the province and Van Don economic zone.- Quan Lan was selected as a pilot area for eco-tourism development within the framework of the green growth project between Quang Ninh province and the Japanese organization JICA.- The flow of tourists and especially ecotourism in the world tends toincreasing
Challenge- Weather and climate change abnormally.- Competition in tourism products is increasingly fierce, especially with other localities in the province such as Ha Long, Mong Cai...- Awareness of tourists, especially domestic tourists, about ecotourism and nature conservation is not high.
Through summary analysis using SWOT matrix we see that:
To exploit strengths and take advantage of opportunities, it is necessary to:
- Diversify products and service types (build more tourism routes aimed at specific needs of tourists: experiential tourism immersed in nature, spiritual cultural tourism...)
- Effective exploitation of resources and differentiated products (natural resources and human resources)

The comprehensive investigation of the service value of the forest ecosystem shows that the forest ecosystem has enormous value. Just a general assessment has shown the potential of the specific forest ecosystem: Every year, the forest ecosystem meets the value of about 270,101,000,000 VND/year (not including the value of wood and some other ecological values).
People mainly participate in income-generating activities from agricultural, forestry and fishery production, in which agriculture is the main production sector, but only to ensure food, while exploiting natural aquatic resources and fishing activities bring the main source of income for people here.

The management of Xuan Thuy National Park is facing many challenges: facilities, organizational structure of management, especially the role of people in management has not been enhanced, some management solutions are applied not according to ecosystem management methods.
Management issues are still heavily theoretical, and implementation still faces many difficulties. In particular, there are conflicts between the people and Xuan Thuy National Park. Management still overlaps between the National Park and Giao Thuy district.
Ecosystem management principles are effective tools in assessing the current state
The management of the ecosystem of Xuan Thuy National Park has clarified a number of ecosystem management solutions that need to be applied to ensure harmony between natural and social factors such as:
- Integrating management work and socio-economic development planning of Giao Thuy district
- Strengthen management capacity, resource monitoring capacity and scientific research for Xuan Thuy National Park staff.
- Develop and complete the zoning and planning of Xuan Thuy National Park, plan and implement Park management according to ecosystem management principles.
- Raise community awareness of RNM management, build dialogues with authorities, especially local planning agencies.
Although the boundaries of functional areas of Xuan Thuy National Park have been divided, it is necessary to disseminate more information to the people to contribute to better management of the RNM ecosystem.
2. Existence
Research on mangrove ecosystem management plays a very important role in the face of current environmental changes and impacts that change the ecosystem. Within the framework of the master's thesis, the topic only studies the general status of management along with the application of some principles in ecosystem management.
Due to time constraints, I found that my thesis still has some shortcomings that need further research:
- The topic has not yet delved into specific research on the structure of the ecosystem but only describes the basic components of the ecosystem.
- The functional potential of the mangrove ecosystem has not been fully assessed, only basic service value has been studied.
- Research on the current status of RNM ecosystem management only raises issues related to management, but has not focused on and deeply evaluated management issues associated with the principles of HST management.
3. Recommendations
To have a deeper assessment of the issue of mangrove ecosystem management as well as
In order to make realistic and feasible recommendations for the protection and sustainable development of the RNM ecosystem, further studies need to focus on the following directions:
- Study in more detail the structure of the RNM HST to have a basis for proposing appropriate KTLS solutions.
- Specifically study the social and environmental role of mangrove forests.
- Assess the environmental value of RNM and propose testing directions.
- Study biodiversity through some principles of biodiversity.
- Research on the structure and function of the RNM ecosystem.
In general, the initial approach to the principles of ecosystem management is a solution of scientific and practical significance in the conservation and sustainable use of local mangrove resources. It is recommended to conduct further research on the conservation of mangrove ecosystems.
