3.2. Specific perspectives for sustainable tourism development in Ha Tinh

Nowadays, investing in tourism is a common direction. The problem is how to improve living standards, satisfy current needs and ensure that the living and working environment for future generations is not affected.

* First point of view: Developing sustainable tourism in parallel with the equal development of other fields.

Like other economic sectors, tourism is an industry that needs the support of other sectors. Tourism cannot develop without being correlated with other sectors. In the process of developing sustainable tourism, Ha Tinh needs to take advantage of natural advantages to develop the economy, strengthen national defense and political and social security. Ha Tinh also needs to study and grasp the interaction between sustainable tourism and other sectors to have policies and mechanisms for synchronous and reasonable development. However, depending on each specific time and space, which sector to invest in to balance capital and available resources.

* Second point of view: Developing DLBV is associated with developing community relationships.

People are the most important factor in forming all activities for the existence of society. In the tourism industry, people are the subjects that carry out the tourism process but are also the objects that the tourism industry affects. It can be said that through tourism, the relationship between people is closely expressed. Each person has their own way of participating in tourism activities to achieve their goals, but they cannot escape from mutual dependence. Tourism businesses attach great importance to developing community relations when building brands, expanding the tourist market, and local people are potential customers. Once the reputation of the business has been built, they will be the ones to help the business promote its image. From that, it can be seen that community relations also contribute a large part to the development of the tourism industry in a sustainable direction.

A clean environment is a great destination for all tourists. Policies and institutions alone cannot help sustainable tourism development. Long-term improvements will require Vietnam to have a strong commitment and active participation of the people, social organizations, the business sector, and a high level of social consensus.

* Third viewpoint: Developing DLBV is associated with the restoration and conservation of tourism resources.

Tourism resources are considered as input factors in the production of tourism activities and products. Landscapes, natural attractions, relics, specialties typical of a region or country to impress tourists and distinguish them from other places. Tourism resources are also outstanding socio-economic achievements. Ha Tinh is increasingly exploiting its potential to develop sustainable tourism. However, exploitation without planning, only seeing immediate benefits but forgetting the long-term harm will lead to the industry.

Tourism development is unbalanced and unstable. Therefore, the viewpoint of preserving and embellishing tourism resources from the beginning will be an effective strategy for Ha Tinh.

* Fourth viewpoint: Developing DLBV in the direction of expanding cooperation with the outside and protecting national security and defense

Nowadays, no socio-economic development can be separated from the influence of the surrounding environment, so Ha Tinh must proactively integrate, cooperate, learn and share experiences with other countries. Besides, sustainable tourism development cannot avoid the impact of natural laws - it is beyond the subjective will of humans. Therefore, it is necessary to have active measures to limit unwanted consequences.

Ha Tinh has an important geopolitical position, bordering both the sea and Laos, so the political security situation in the border area is not yet stable. Smuggling and trading in banned goods are still the main forms of enrichment for people in the border area. Many reactionary forces have taken advantage of the terrain and population characteristics to propagate reactionary ideology. Therefore, ensuring national security and defense in Ha Tinh in general and the border gate area in particular is very necessary. Tourism and national security and defense have a close relationship with each other, national security and defense are guaranteed, political stability makes tourists feel safe when coming to Ha Tinh. In addition, as tourism develops, national security and defense must become stronger to control bad behavior mixed with tourists, affecting the political situation and people's lives.

In short, sustainable tourism in Ha Tinh cannot develop without a national security system. National security will be improved one step when tourism develops.

* Fifth viewpoint: Development of DLBV must be placed in the overall socio-economic development of Ha Tinh province.

Tourism development must be closely linked to the process of economic restructuring, creating a driving force to promote the development of other economic sectors, contributing to the industrialization and modernization of the province; investment in tourism resources must be balanced with investment in the development of other economic sectors. Tourism development must go hand in hand with job creation, infrastructure improvement and improving the lives of communities where there is potential for tourism development.
