Physical cultural heritage can use quantitative assessment criteria such as:

Therefore, the criteria for determining heritage quality is the number of highly ranked relics including: special national level (ranked by the Prime Minister), national level (ranked by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism), provincial level (ranked by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee) [51], [53].

* SKH criteria

SKH is reflected in the ability to suit health and conditions for organizing and implementing cultural tourism. Therefore, according to experts, the results of the assessment of SKH of natural tourism can be used to assess cultural tourism.

Determining the weight of evaluation criteria for cultural tourism : in the selected criteria, their level of influence is different. Based on the characteristics and requirements of cultural tourism and according to expert opinions, the factors with the level of influence and the important role of the criteria are ranked in the following order: (1) tangible cultural heritage, (2) intangible cultural heritage, (3) scientific and technological achievements. The weight of the factors is determined through establishing a pairwise comparison triangle matrix in Appendix 4.3.

b. Evaluation results

Sub-regions A.1 and B.1: The density of relics is low, no relics are ranked. At the same time, the sub-region is also the main habitat of the Bru - Van Kieu and Ta Oi ethnic communities. For sub-region A.1, due to scattered distribution, intangible cultural elements only have local significance, while in sub-region B.1, intangible cultural heritages have regional significance. In addition, the characteristic of the territory is the concentration of many wind power plants, which are also attractive to tourists. The assessment results show that the tangible cultural heritage criteria of both sub-regions are at the level of low attractiveness (ITL); for intangible cultural heritage criteria, sub-region B.1 is at the level of relatively attractiveness (TĐTL), while in sub-region A.1, it is low attractiveness (ITL).

Sub-region A.2, B.2: For tangible cultural heritage, the density of relics is high, with 1 special national relic and 4 relics ranked at national level; there are relics with spiritual and religious significance - Buddhism such as Bao Thap Pagoda, Phat Son Pagoda...

On the other hand, intangible cultural heritage here is quite diverse, notably intangible cultural forms associated with customs, lifestyles, house architecture, costumes, and cuisine of the Bru - Van Kieu people in Cat Tren village, Cat Duoi village, and Klu village. Some special festivals of ethnic minority communities are also often held at the cultural centers of the sub-region. In particular, 16 ancient houses of the Bru - Van Kieu people have been restored and are included in the long-term preservation plan of the Department of Tourism of Quang Tri province; they have inter-regional significance. The assessment results show that the tangible cultural heritage criteria of sub-region A.2 are at the very attractive level (RTL), while sub-region B.2 is attractive (TL); in terms of intangible cultural heritage criteria, both sub-regions are at the very attractive level (RTL).

Sub-region A.3: Tangible cultural heritage, high density of relics, relics ranked at provincial level or lower. Regarding intangible cultural heritage, the outstanding cultural form associated with the Bru - Van Kieu ethnic community in Ban Chai, Ban Ta Sa living quite concentratedly along the Thach Han River. Most traditional festivals are held in the Long House area. However, the value of these intangible cultural heritages is only regional. The assessment results of the criteria for tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage are both at a relatively attractive level (TĐTL).

Sub-region A.4: Regarding tangible cultural heritage, the density of relics is low, there are no ranked relics. Regarding intangible cultural heritage, the sub-region is mainly inhabited by the Ta Oi community, concentrated along the Ho Chi Minh West National Highway and the sub-region with Zeng weaving in A Roang and A Dot communes, which are 2 out of 3 localities recognized as national intangible cultural heritage. The assessment results show that tangible cultural heritage is only at the level of less attractive (ITL), while intangible cultural heritage is at the level of very attractive (RTL).

Sub-region A.5 : Regarding tangible cultural heritage, the density of relics is sparse, the relics are only ranked at provincial level or lower. Regarding intangible cultural heritage, there are quite diverse such as traditional craft villages, festivals associated with customs and practices of the Ta Oi and Co Tu communities. Some tourist spots are included in the key tourism development project, calling for investment from the locality (Doi village, Hong Ha tourist spot) with regional significance. The assessment results show that tangible cultural heritage is relatively attractive (TĐTL), intangible cultural heritage is attractive (TL).

Sub-region B.3: Regarding tangible cultural heritage, the density of relics is high, with 8 national-level relics. Intangible cultural heritage is very rich and diverse in terms of festivals and traditional craft villages, including 2 nationally recognized intangible cultural heritages including Zeng weaving (A Nham commune) and Aza Koonh festival; the sub-region is where the Ta Oi community mainly lives. The evaluation results for these 2 criteria are both at the very attractive level (RTL).

- Applying formulas CTa and CTb, the results of the evaluation of the criteria for developing cultural tourism are as follows (Table 3.9):

- Cultural LHDL has 4 assessment results: RTL includes sub-regions: A2, B.2, B.3; TL : A.5; TĐTL includes: A.3, A.4; ITL includes sub-regions: A.1, B.1

3.1.3. Summary of the level of convenience of 2 types of tourism in each sub-region

To determine the TL level of sub - regions, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment for both LHDLs. From the TL level results of each LHDL, continue to score and calculate the percentage of points compared to the total maximum score of all LHDLs in each sub - region , table 3.10

The results of the combined assessment of the two LHDLs show that the TL levels of each sub-region are as follows:

RTL : is sub-region A.2, A.5, B.2, B.3 in which sub-region A.2 RTL develops both natural and cultural tourism; sub-region B.2, B.3, RTL develops cultural tourism, but only TL develops natural tourism; on the contrary, sub-region A.5, RTL develops natural tourism but TL develops cultural tourism. TL : is sub-region A.4 in which TL develops natural tourism and TĐTL develops cultural tourism. TĐTL : is sub-region A.3 with TĐTL development level for both tourism; ITL is sub-region A.1,

B.1, in which sub-region B.1 develops natural tourism at the level of traditional tourism but uses ITL to develop cultural tourism; while sub-region A.1 has both LHDL at the level of ITL for tourism development because the resource points are not distributed in a concentrated manner and the exploitation capacity is limited.
