INTRODUCTION

1. Urgency of the thesis topic

In theory, tourism is a comprehensive economic sector with a rapid growth rate, occupying an important position in the socio-economic development strategy of many countries in the world and in Vietnam. Tourism development creates opportunities and conditions for other economic sectors to develop together, so tourism has the ability to change the economic face of our country. The nature of tourism is an economic sector with clear characteristics, besides general rules, tourism is formed, operated and developed according to its own rules. Accordingly, in addition to the positive impacts that change the socio-economic face of the country, this activity also gives rise to many negative aspects, especially for the environment. Therefore, to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the tourism industry and the limitations and negative aspects, state management is needed. State management ensures stable and sustainable development of tourism, maximizing the advantages and limiting the negative aspects. In essence, the management process for PTDLBV is to influence them to achieve predetermined goals. State management of PTDL in a sustainable direction is to create unity in the organization and coordination of activities of state management agencies on tourism economic activities. At the same time, only unified state management of PTDL can help exploit the strengths of each locality to achieve results and promote the comparative advantages of the country in the current global tourism development trend (Vo Thi Thu Ngoc, 2017).

In Vietnam, the topic of sustainable development in general and tourism in particular began to be studied since the 90s, and has become quite popular. Not only that, after opening up and integrating with the world since the 90s, Vietnam tourism has been an attractive topic for many domestic and foreign research topics in the scientific community. Currently, realizing the great importance of state management for tourism development, there have been many scientific works published related to state management of tourism and sustainable development with many different approaches in terms of methods and criteria. Most of the research works are mainly state management of tourism and sustainable development at the industry and local level such as: Nguyen Minh Duc (2007); Nguyen Tan Vinh (2008); Luong Thanh Hai (2013); Nguyen Manh Cuong, (2015); Nguyen Hoang Tu (2017); Nguyen Thi Tam (2018); Nguyen Hiep Phuoc (2018);…However, there is no consensus on the system of assessment criteria as well as factors affecting the provincial-level state management of tourism in general and the provincial state management of PTDLBV in particular. Most of the new works only provide qualitative criteria, not concretized into indicators for assessing the provincial state management of PTDLBV that are feasible for practical application.


All the theoretical issues above require further research to supplement theoretical and practical arguments, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods to clarify the sustainability of local tourism development at the provincial level and objectively and honestly assess the current state management status of local tourism development at the provincial level through the contents and measurement criteria, thereby proposing solutions to strengthen local tourism development at the provincial level, which is both an urgent and strategic task.

In practice, tourism has become a popular socio-economic phenomenon, a bridge of friendship, a means of maintaining peace and cooperation between countries and peoples. In many countries, tourism is one of the leading economic sectors, bringing socio-economic benefits in development. In Vietnam, after more than 30 years of innovation, the tourism industry has seen many improvements, changed its appearance and gradually affirmed the stature of the industry in the national economy, contributing to socio-economic development, promoting cultural exchange to help people around the world understand more about the country and people of Vietnam, gaining sympathy and international support in the cause of building and protecting the country; making a more positive contribution to the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country.

In the strategy for tourism development of Thanh Hoa province to 2025, with a vision to 2030, the goal to strive for by 2030 is set: "Thanh Hoa becomes one of the tourism development centers of the North Central region and the whole country, tourism becomes a spearhead economic sector, with professionalism, a relatively synchronous and modern infrastructure system, high-quality, diverse, branded tourism products, imbued with national cultural identity" . Therefore, in recent years, investment activities in exploitation and tourism development have been gradually focused on, the number of tourists has continuously grown at a fairly high rate, revenue and added value have also achieved high growth rates; infrastructure has developed; investment capital for tourism has increased steadily over the years and in the direction of promoting socialization quite clearly...

In addition, Resolution No. 58-NQ/TW dated August 5, 2020 of the Politburo on the construction and development of Thanh Hoa province to 2030, with a vision to 2045, has identified tourism as a key economic sector. This has special significance for the tourism industry, as it opens up new opportunities for Thanh Hoa tourism to take off. Resolution No. 58 clearly states that “... linking tourism with the preservation and promotion of cultural and ethnic values; preserving landscapes, protecting the environment; ensuring national defense, security, order and social safety with three key types: sea tourism, community ecotourism and cultural and spiritual heritage tourism ”. To realize this goal, it is necessary to first innovate


Strong awareness and thinking of tourism development according to the laws of the market economy. At the same time, raise the awareness of people, businesses, and communities in civilized and friendly behavior with tourists to create attraction and gradually build the tourism brand of Thanh Hoa. In tourism, infrastructure and technical facilities are considered the "backbone". Therefore, Thanh Hoa needs to prioritize investment resources, upgrade, and expand important and strategic traffic routes; improve connectivity to key tourist areas and complete essential infrastructure works at tourist areas and destinations.

However, compared to the potential, the sustainable development of Thanh Hoa province has not reached a commensurate level and there are still many significant limitations in the following aspects: Due to overheated development, lack of orientation, lack of management leading to lack of sustainable development; quality and diversity of tourism products, quality of human resources in the tourism industry, quality and consistency of infrastructure system, management of tourism activities; especially, from the perspective of State management of Thanh Hoa province for sustainable development, there are issues of concern: these policies, strategies, plans and policies are only initial steps, not yet synchronous, consistent, not creating a favorable environment for sustainable development; the organization of the management apparatus and inspection and supervision work also have many shortcomings, not strictly implemented...; On the other hand, in the implementation process, the coordination between levels and sectors in managing and exploiting tourism in the area and the connection with the provinces are still limited, not meeting the requirements of development in the new period, and the professionalism in organizing tourism activities is not high.

In order for Thanh Hoa province's tourism to develop on the basis of promoting the potentials and advantages of the locality, becoming an important economic sector, a driving force for the province's socio-economic development, state management of tourism plays a key role, creating a basic premise for Thanh Hoa tourism to develop more strongly. Fully understanding the theoretical and practical basis for state management of the provincial level for PTDLBV, as well as assessing the current state management of Thanh Hoa province for PTDLBV, thereby drawing out the achievements and limitations as a basis for conducting research, finding appropriate directions and solutions to help state management activities promote their inherent strengths, creating conditions for Thanh Hoa province to PTDLB is extremely necessary. For these reasons, the author chose the topic: "State management of Thanh Hoa province for PTDLBV " as the topic of his doctoral thesis.
