PROBLEM STATEMENT

In recent decades, ecotourism has been developing rapidly in many countries around the world, increasingly attracting the attention of all social classes. In addition to meeting the needs of relaxation and exploration of the natural world, bringing great economic benefits, creating opportunities to increase employment and increase income for countries as well as local communities, where there are nature reserves with attractive landscapes, ecotourism also has the meaning of educating tourists and local communities on environmental protection, contributing to the preservation and enhancement of environmental landscape values. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism has become the world's largest industry, bringing significant income and employment to the world. Ecotourism also contributes significantly to world tourism and is increasing, bringing large income to developing and underdeveloped countries. Ecotourism is the driving force of many tropical islands in the Caribbean, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean... From that awareness, ecotourism has been identified as one of the main tourism development directions of Vietnam Tourism in the Tourism Development Strategy to 2020.

The Huong Pagoda relic and scenic area is located in My Duc district, 50km southwest of Hanoi city center, and belongs to the Huong Son special-use forest area. The Huong Pagoda relic and scenic area is included in the list of special-use forests in Vietnam according to Decision No. 194/CT, dated August 9, 1986 of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, as the Huong Tich Pagoda Cultural - Historical Area with an area of ​​500 hectares (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, 1997) and is now the Huong Pagoda relic and scenic area. The goal of this special-use forest is to "Protect the forest on limestone mountains and the famous landscape of the region".

The Huong Pagoda scenic relic area is an area with great potential for biodiversity conservation and ecotourism development. Huong Son is a majestic limestone mountain area with complex terrain, and the Karst process (Castor) creates many natural caves such as Huong Tich cave, Tien Son cave, Tuyet Quynh cave. With a rich and diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna on the limestone mountains,
