In the Central Highlands, there are about 30 businesses licensed to operate tourism (Gia Lai: 4 units; Dak Nong: 2 units; Lam Dong: 29 units; Kon Tum: 2 units; Dak Lak: 9 units), including 9 international travel businesses. International travel activities have made progress, organizing tours to Southeast Asian countries, Europe, America... Domestic travel activities have developed strongly, signing internal tour agreements with a number of provinces in other regions [17]. Up to now, the following tourist routes have been formed:
(1). The Ho Chi Minh Road tourist route connects the major tourist centers of the region (Kon Tum Pleiku Buon Ma Thuot Gia Nghia) along the Ho Chi Minh Road and is one of the important national tourist routes. This can be considered the "Green Road of the Central Highlands" tourist route, a tourist route that fully embodies the identity of the Central Highlands.
(2). The Da Lat - Ho Chi Minh City tourist route along Highway 20 is a scenic and weekend tour.
(3). Buon Ma Thuot Pleiku tourist route of the South Central coastal provinces
Set along Highway 19, combining cultural tourism products, Western mountains and forests
Original with South Central Coast beach tourism.
(4). Pleiku Le Thanh Northern Cambodia Laos Thailand tourist route. This is a tourist route connecting the Central Highlands with ASEAN countries and the South Central Coast along Highway 19, combining mountain cultural and ecological tourism products and sea tourism.
In general, tourism routes are formed with tourism products that are still vague, not outstanding enough to create attraction and carry national and international brands, and have low competitiveness. On the other hand, travel agencies in the Central Highlands are small in scale, operate ineffectively, many businesses have registered to operate tourism but do not operate and only specialize in other services. The causes of the above limitations are: low quality human resources, especially foreign language proficiency and tour guides; weak and unsynchronized tourism products, so they are not enough to attract travel agencies in big cities to connect to the Central Highlands.
2.3.1.4. Investment in tourism development in the Central Highlands
Foreign investment projects in tourism in the Central Highlands are still very limited, up to now there have been only 6 foreign investment projects in the Central Highlands region with more than 100 million USD, of which Lam Dong has 4 projects with more than 60 million USD. In the period 2000 - 2010, the Central Highlands mobilized over 914 billion VND from the state budget to invest in upgrading and building tourism infrastructure, mainly in key national tourist areas, creating an effective "push" to attract investment capital for tourism development from other economic sectors [17].
Investment in developing tourist areas: Investment in developing tourist areas has also received attention. Up to now, the region has attracted domestic and foreign investors such as Hansol Group of Korea, Saigon Tourism Joint Stock Company, Saigon Tourism Corporation... to invest in exploiting and developing tourist destinations in the region. In 2009 alone, there were 25 investment projects in the Central Highlands with a total capital of 3,215 billion VND [17]. Some typical investment projects in the region are: Chu Mom Ray National Park Ecotourism Area, Plei Krong Lake Ecotourism Area, Mang Den Ecotourism Area (Kon Tum); Kon Ka Kinh National Park Ecotourism Area, Ha Tam Pine Hill Ecotourism Area, Ethnic Cultural Park, Bien Ho Forestry Park Tourist Area (Gia Lai); Buon Don eco-tourism area, Ea Kao lake tourist site, Lak lake tourist area (Dak Lak); Nam Nung cultural eco-tourism area, Dray Sap Gia Long Trinh Nu waterfall cluster tourist area (Dak Nong). Lam Dong province alone has 151 investment projects in the area from 2003 to 2009, with a total investment capital of 43,856 billion VND [17]. Some typical projects include Cam Ly Mang Lin eco-tourism area, Dai Ninh 36-hole golf course, entertainment area, resort
high-class resort, Dalat cultural park, Da Lat lake forest eco-tourism area
Nhim, Dai Ninh hydroelectric lake tourist area, Bidoup Nui Ba national park project; Suoi Vang Da Huoai resort, Ngoc Lan hotel, Anna Mandara Villas Dalat resort, Madagui forest tourist area, Thien Thai D'ran waterfall eco-tourism area. With the investment in developing key tourist areas, many new types of tourism have been deployed such as eco-tourism, cultural tourism, adventure sports tourism and especially the localities in the region have had close coordination to effectively exploit the "Green Road of the Central Highlands" tourist route.
However, investment in tourism development in the Central Highlands is not commensurate with its potential.
√. The investment capital from the State budget mainly comes from the target program of tourism infrastructure, the average annual investment is very small (10 to 15 billion VND/province, Lam Dong alone is 40 to 50 billion VND) [18]. The Central Highlands provinces almost do not use local budgets to invest in tourism infrastructure, if any, it is very little on the basis of integrating other investment capital sources. Therefore, the State investment capital in the past has not been enough to stimulate other capital sources.
√. Foreign direct investment (FDI) capital is mainly concentrated in Lam Dong province, but the scale is small, only 0.47% of the national FDI in 2012; the remaining provinces have not attracted this capital. Investment capital from the cities
Other economic sectors are not much, only small-scale investment. Up to now, 4 provinces of Dak Lak,
Dak Nong, Gia Lai, Kon Tum have not had any large-scale investment projects to act as a locomotive to pull development projects. The entertainment areas being put into operation in the Central Highlands (except Da Lat) are only at a moderate level, mainly taking short-term to support long-term. The main reasons are: The infrastructure of the Central Highlands is still low compared to other regions, especially traffic infrastructure; the investment environment has not been improved in general, administrative procedures in many places are still cumbersome, causing trouble for investors; low-quality human resources... besides, political and border factors... are also unfavorable issues to attract investment in the Central Highlands, including tourism development.
2.3.2. On politics
2.3.2.1. Mechanisms, policies and investment environment for sustainable tourism development in the Central Highlands

Directions and solutions for tourism development in the Central Highlands region;
General assessment: The above review results show that in recent times, there have been many policies, mechanisms and strategies focusing on socio-economic development in the Central Highlands region associated with sustainable tourism development. This has been and is promoting socio-economic development in the Central Highlands region in general and tourism in particular, such as: Resolution 10 of the Politburo has had a great impact on infrastructure development, improving people's lives in the area; the assignment of forest protection and management to people and communities; protection of water resources; settlement of residential land and production land for local ethnic people; policies on preserving and developing the culture of ethnic groups in the Central Highlands ...
However, the policy for sustainable tourism development in the Central Highlands is still lacking and
weak:
√. Many policies are still inconsistent, inappropriate and lacking feasibility.
effectiveness and efficiency are not high, even some policies have not really gone into effect.
life. The main causes are awareness, operational capacity, organization and implementation.
Current policies are still limited; the integration of policies for sustainable tourism development has not been implemented; coordination between ministries, sectors and localities is not synchronous; regional development linkages have not been specified and implemented.
√. The policy for sustainable tourism development in the Central Highlands is not complete and strong enough for development such as: investment attraction policy is not attractive enough to attract domestic and foreign enterprises to the Central Highlands, because the comparative advantage of the Central Highlands is far inferior to other regions; Many important policies are slow to be issued or issued inconsistently. Specifically, the planning for tourism development of the Central Highlands provinces is done first, the tourism planning of the Central Highlands region is done later. This has led to a lack of connection with the exploitation of advantages, tourism potential and division of labor of localities in the region.
√. Policy on preserving and promoting cultural values and historical relics is not specific.
and enough
force to
implementation, thus the situation of "Western gong bleeding"
"An intangible cultural heritage of humanity has been and is taking place in the ethnic community; the cultural values of the ethnic groups in the Central Highlands have not been preserved, and tend to increasingly fade between generations, the main reason is that the policy mechanism is not strong enough to create a favorable environment to promote cultural values for
tourism development; historical relics
insufficient
resources to
restore and preserve,
Many relics have been encroached upon and damaged... The two-sided nature of the issue of "preserving" and "promoting" cultural values and historical relics has not been comprehensively addressed in policies for implementation.
√. For the Central Highlands, there are currently many credit support policies such as: Decision 32/2007/QDTTg on loans to support production activities of the Central Highlands.
ethnic minorities; Decision 579/2009/QDTTg on production loans in
Program 30A; Decision 157/2007/QDTTg on lending to poor households and poor students..., in general, these policies are implemented through two channels: preferential interest rates and/or no collateral required. The most noticeable thing in the current preferential loan programs is the small loan scale. According to the 2010 Population Living Standards Survey (General Statistics Office), the average loan value per household in the Central Highlands is only 11.6 million VND. This amount of capital is difficult to meet the investment for production and business development. On the other hand, there is no policy for village and hamlet communities to borrow capital to develop community tourism (a type of tourism that is considered sustainable); moreover, households also cannot access loans to develop the tourism industry, because there are no preferential policies.

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.
+ Capacity is determined as average (2 points) and the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), then the score of Capacity criterion is 2 x 2 = 4.
+ Exploitation time is long (4 points), the most important coefficient (coefficient 3) so the score of the Exploitation time criterion is 4 x 3 = 12.
+ Sustainability is determined as sustainable (4 points), the important coefficient is the average coefficient (coefficient 1), so the score of the Sustainability criterion is 4 x 1 = 4 points
+ Location and accessibility are determined to be quite favorable (2 points), the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), the criterion score is 2 x 2 = 4 points.
+ Infrastructure is assessed as good (3 points), the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), then the score of the Infrastructure criterion is 3 x 2 = 6 points.
The total score for evaluating DLST in Minh Chau commune according to 6 evaluation criteria is determined as: 12 + 4 + 12 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 42 points

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)

In recent times, although the Central Highlands provinces have tried to improve
investment environment, however, the results (PCI) compared to other regions are still low. Almost from 2006 to 2012, the PCI index of the provinces fluctuated up and down every year, which shows that the Central Highlands provinces have not yet created
a sustainable and stable investment environment. This is one of the reasons why not many investors have been attracted to the Central Highlands in recent times.
2.3.2.2. State management of sustainable tourism development in the Central Highlands
The Central Highlands provinces have recently done quite well in State management of tourism in the following areas:
a. Proposing tourism development programs, projects and policies
Develop programs and projects on tourism development in each locality for the period 2011-2015; develop and organize the implementation of tourism development plans and policies, including master plans for industry development, plans for key tourist areas and destinations; manage tourism development projects in the locality; summarize the implementation of articles in the Tourism Law (2006-2011), identify weaknesses and limitations that need to be overcome in the coming period; disseminate and educate the public about tourism laws and information.
