The point is that the distribution is uneven across the days of the week, or what can be called the “weekend effect”. The number of visitors to Yen Tu on weekends is about 1.7 times higher than on weekdays, meaning that on average, for every 3 tourists coming on weekdays, there will be 5 tourists coming on weekends.
The reason why Yen Tu has the "Weekend Effect" is because in addition to being deeply influenced by the time the festival takes place, Yen Tu is also greatly influenced by the typical type of tourism (religious tourism) and the geographical location of the area.
The typical type of tourism of Yen Tu tourist area is religious-spiritual tourism. Therefore, the time for the trip does not necessarily have to be long (usually only about 1 day), moreover, Yen Tu has a quite favorable location when it is close to large tourist sources such as: Hanoi, Hai Phong, Hai Duong ... so it is more convenient for tourists to make short trips to the land of Buddha. For that reason, these trips usually only last from 1-2 days, mainly 2 days on weekends and this has caused overload on weekends in Yen Tu.
According to the above figures and calculations, the average number of visitors on weekdays (during the festival season) has exceeded the allowable threshold (allowable capacity) of the relic site (3,124 visitors/day) by 1.5 times, not to mention weekends (2.6 times) or special days (6.5 times). This clearly has a negative impact on the landscape and environment at Yen Tu tourist site.
In addition, the reception of a large number of tourists only focused on the 3-month festival makes the tourist facilities unable to maintain the best service for tourists coming here to visit. For example: during the spring festival, the toilet system in Yen Tu area cannot meet the needs of tourists, or tourists have to wait for hours (according to the opinions of tourists).
Although we know that Yen Tu tourism is festival tourism and there will be no more festival tourism if the number of visitors here is not evenly distributed throughout the year. Moreover, most tourists come here for spiritual purposes, so the crowded environment will attract them greatly. However, let's imagine that with tourist routes about 6000m long, the average width of the route is 2.5m, the area of the tourist route is 15,000m2, plus the empty spaces of the point.
The tour has an area of about 7000m2 for movement and activities. And with such conditions, it is not certain that the above attraction will prevail over the discomfort that tourists encounter during the tour.
In addition, we also know that for each impact, the ecosystem needs a certain amount of time to recover. Therefore, a large number of tourists visiting at the same time and continuously for a relatively long time will make the regeneration capacity of the local ecosystem unable to recover. And this can easily lead to the degradation of the natural environment.
Along with the benefits brought to local people when welcoming a large number of tourists, this also creates obstacles that directly impact the natural environment (land, water, etc.) and thereby negatively impact people's lives.
Thus, it can be seen that welcoming tourists without having reasonable measures to regulate the number of visitors is the main cause leading to negative impacts on the natural environment of the area. And if considered specifically from a certain aspect, it can be said that this is an action whose results lead to the destruction of the natural environment.

Solutions for tourism development in Tien Lang - 10 zt2i3t4l5ee zt2a3gstourism, tourism development zt2a3ge zc2o3n4t5e6n7ts - District People's Committees and authorities of communes with tourist attractions should support, promote, and provide necessary information to people, helping them improve their knowledge about tourism. Raise tourism awareness for local people. * * * Due to limited knowledge and research time, the thesis inevitably has shortcomings. Therefore, I look forward to receiving guidance from teachers, experts as well as your comments to make the thesis more complete. Chapter III Conclusion Through the issues presented in Chapter II, we can come to some conclusions: Based on the strengths of available tourism resources, the types of tourism in Tien Lang that need to be promoted in the coming time are sightseeing and resort tourism, discovery tourism, weekend tourism. To improve the quality and diversify tourism products, Tien Lang district needs to combine with local cultural tourism resources, at the same time combine with surrounding areas, build rich tourism products. The strengths of Tien Lang tourism are eco-tourism and cultural tourism, so developing Tien Lang tourism must always go hand in hand with restoring and preserving types of cultural tourism resources. Some necessary measures to support and improve the efficiency of exploiting tourism resources in Tien Lang are: strengthening the construction of technical facilities and labor force serving tourism, actively promoting and advertising tourism, and expanding forms of capital mobilization for tourism development. CONCLUDE I Conclusion 1. Based on the results achieved within the framework of the thesis's needs, some basic conclusions can be drawn as follows: Tien Lang is a locality with great potential for tourism development. The relatively abundant cultural tourism resources and ecological tourism resources have great appeal to tourists. Based on this potential, Tien Lang can build a unique tourism industry that is competitive enough with other localities within Hai Phong city and neighboring areas. In recent years, the exploitation of the advantages of resources to develop tourism and build tourist routes in Tien Lang has not been commensurate with the available potential. In terms of quantity, many resource objects have not been brought into the purpose of tourism development. In terms of time, the regular service time has not been extended to attract more visitors. Infrastructure and technical facilities are still weak. The labor force is still thin and weak in terms of expertise. Tourism programs and routes have not been organized properly, the exploitation content is still monotonous, so it has not attracted many visitors. Although resources have not been mobilized much for tourism development, they are facing the risk of destruction and degradation. 2. Based on the results of investigation, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and selective absorption of research results of related topics, the thesis has proposed a number of necessary solutions to improve the efficiency of exploiting tourism resources in Tien Lang such as: promoting the restoration and conservation of tourism resources, focusing on investment and key exploitation of ecotourism resources, strengthening the construction of infrastructure and tourism workforce. Expanding forms of capital mobilization. In addition, the thesis has built a number of tourist routes of Hai Phong in which Tien Lang tourism resources play an important role. Exploiting Tien Lang tourism resources for tourism development is currently facing many difficulties. The above measures, if applied synchronously, will likely bring new prospects for the local tourism industry, contributing to making Tien Lang tourism an important economic sector in the district's economic structure.

Identify Rating Levels and Rating Scales zt2i3t4l5ee zt2a3gstourism,quan lan,quang ninh,ecology,ecotourism,minh chau,van don,geography,geographical basis,tourism development,science zt2a3ge zc2o3n4t5e6n7ts 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 Similar assessment for Quan Lan commune, we have the following table: Table 3.3: Assessment of the potential for natural ecotourism development in Quan Lan and Minh Chau communes Attractiveness of self-tourismof course Capacity Mining time Sustainability Location and accessibility Infrastructure Result Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti CommuneMinh Chau 12 12 4 8 12 12 4 4 4 8 6 8 42/52 Quan CommuneLan 6 12 6 8 9 12 4 4 4 8 4 8 33/52 b. Assessment of the potential for humanistic tourism development For Quan Lan commune: + The attractiveness of human tourism 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 to be large (3 points) and the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), then the score of the Capacity criterion is 3 x 2 = 6. + Mining time is average (3 points), the most important coefficient (coefficient 3) so the score of the Mining time criterion is 3 x 3 = 9. + 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 rated as average (2 points), the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), then the score of the Infrastructure criterion is 2 x 2 = 4 points. The total score for evaluating DLST in Quan Lan commune according to 6 evaluation criteria is determined as: 12 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 36 points. Similar assessment with Minh Chau commune we have the following table: Table 3.4: Assessment of the potential for developing humanistic eco-tourism in Quan Lan and Minh Chau communes Attractiveness of human tourismliterature Capacity Mining time Sustainability Location and accessibility Infrastructure Result Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Point DarkMulti Quan CommuneLan 12 12 6 8 9 12 4 4 4 8 4 8 39/52 Minh CommuneChau 6 12 4 8 12 12 4 4 4 8 6 8 36/52 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. Figure 3.1: Thenmala Forest Bridge (India) Source: https://www.thenmalaecotourism.com/(August 21, 2019) 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) div.maincontent .p { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; margin:0pt; } div.maincontent p { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; margin:0pt; } div.maincontent .s1 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 13pt; } div.maincontent .s2 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 13pt; } div.maincontent .s3 { color: #0D0D0D; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s4 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s5 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s6 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: -3pt; } div.maincontent .s7 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: -2pt; } div.maincontent .s8 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: -1pt; } div.maincontent .s9 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s10 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s11 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s12 { color: black; font-family:Symbol, serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s13 { color: black; font-family:Wingdings; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s14 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: 5pt; } div.maincontent .s15 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: 5pt; } div.maincontent .s16 { color: black; font-family:Cambria, serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s17 { color: #080808; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s18 { color: #080808; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s19 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 11pt; } div.maincontent .s20 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; } div.maincontent .s21 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 11pt; } div.maincontent .s22 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 11pt; } div.maincontent .s23 { color: black; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14pt; } div.maincontent .s24 { color: #212121; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; tex

According to statistics, in the last 4 years from 2007-2010, tourism revenue in Yen Tu increased rapidly. In 2007, it reached 40,347,000,000 VND, in 2008 it reached 90,000,000,000 VND, an increase of 123%. In 2009, it reached 277,612,000,000 VND.
VND. In 2010, it reached VND323,165,711,900, an increase of 16.4% compared to the previous year. In particular, by the end of April 2011, tourism revenue reached nearly VND300 billion, an increase of 107% compared to the same period last year.
Among the tourism revenue sources, revenue from sightseeing tickets, cable car fees and donations are the main sources of revenue. In 2010 alone, revenue from these sources accounted for 82% of total tourism revenue.

However, besides this benefit, Yen Tu tourist area has to face problems in preserving relics and protecting the environment. Due to the large number of tourists coming here, and only focusing on the festival period, it is easy to lead to overload, causing damage and rapid degradation of relics that are quite old. According to statistics, during the festival, the peak tourist area can welcome more than 20,000 visitors/day. This will create significant pressure on the natural environment as well as the human environment in the tourist area. In addition, not all tourists are highly aware of environmental issues, so causing environmental pollution right in the tourist area is predictable.
Thus, it is clear that welcoming a large number of tourists, while focusing on
At a time that does not harm a large number of tourists, and at a time that does not harm tourism resources and does not cause negative impacts on the surrounding environment is not simple. Moreover, welcoming tourists so that not only the host but also the tourists feel comfortable and satisfied after the trip is also a matter of great concern for tourism managers and operators.
2.3 Comments on the tourism development situation in Yen Tu area according to the criteria for sustainable tourism development
2.3.1 According to economic criteria
Through analyzing and evaluating the current status of tourism development in Yen Tu_Quang Ninh based on the criteria for sustainable economic tourism development, specifically as follows:
- Regarding the number of visitors: The number of visitors to Yen Tu increased quite rapidly each year from 1999 to March 2011. According to statistics, the number of tourists to Yen Tu during the period from 2003 to 2010 had an average growth rate of 10-20%.
- Regarding tourism income: In the 5 years from 2006-2010, tourism income continuously grew.
- Regarding tourism GDP: The tourism GDP of Yen Tu relic site has increased rapidly over the years, accounting for a significant portion of the total GDP of Quang Ninh Province. Previously it was only 1% but now it has increased to 4% of the total GDP of Quang Ninh Province.
- Regarding technical facilities for tourism: In recent years, technical facilities for tourism in Yen Tu have increased significantly with an average growth rate of 15%. The quality of the hotel system has been constantly improved. The food and beverage service establishments have grown continuously in terms of quantity and quality. The system of passenger transport vehicles has also increased rapidly in both quantity and quality.
- Regarding human resource expenditure: Increasingly attracting a large number of highly skilled and technical workers, and at the same time attracting a large number of
Local people are increasingly participating in tourism activities.
- Regarding the sense of responsibility in tourism propaganda and promotion activities: The Management Board has coordinated with the City People's Committee to request relevant functional departments and localities to develop a thoughtful implementation plan, with the spirit of thrift, solemnity, joy, health, safety for people and property for tourists; ensure security and order, environmental sanitation, food safety, rescue, fire prevention and fighting and do a good job of forest protection and environmental landscape protection. Cultural activities, religious beliefs, cultural services, tourism services must comply with State regulations, in order to promote the image of Yen Tu to a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, contributing to honoring and promoting the values of Yen Tu Monuments and Landscapes.
2.3.2 Based on criteria on resources and environment
- Regarding planning: Most areas in Yen Tu are planned in general, some tourist areas in the spot are planned in detail. This is the legal basis for reasonable and sustainable management, effective management of resources, strict protection of areas that need to be preserved and developed. Although the current quality of planning and implementation is not high, the general assessment is that it meets the sustainable standards.
- Regarding resources: In recent years, the process of socio-economic development in general and tourism development in Yen Tu in particular has had many negative impacts on tourism resources (both natural and human tourism resources). Most tourism resources have been thoroughly mobilized, causing a significant portion of resources to be degraded, exhausted and overloaded. The intensity of tourism activities at some tourist destinations such as cable car stations to tourist attractions is always overloaded during festivals, creating too much pressure on resources and causing a serious imbalance between supply and demand. Or during festivals, it always causes environmental pollution due to the large amount of waste that destroys the ecological landscape, pollutes water sources, etc. From that, it can be seen that the exploitation here is still not sustainable.
- Regarding the natural environment: Due to the impact of tourism development,
The natural environment in Yen Tu is seriously degraded. Most environmental indicators are polluted and exceed the allowable level. Pollution occurs in the water environment (including surface water, groundwater), soil, air, and ecology.
+ Impact on air environment: In this year's spring festival (2010), along with Yen Tu tourism welcoming a large number of tourists, the parking lot system also receives a large number of vehicles, mainly cars and motorbikes. According to statistics in 2010, the number of vehicles that Yen Tu tourist area received during the 3 months of the spring festival was up to 94,314 vehicles. Of which, the number of motorbikes was up to nearly 90,000, accounting for more than 90% of all types of vehicles. Thus, according to these figures, during the festival, on average, Yen Tu tourist area had to receive more than 1,400 tourist vehicles per day, causing noise pollution, air pollution due to dust and exhaust from vehicles.

(Source: Environmental report of Yen Tu Management Board in 2009)
According to the above data, the average suspended dust index in the air at the measurement location (Chu Lan) is 0.07mg/m3 , this index is actually much lower (up to more than 4 times) than the standard allowable index (0.3mg/m3 ) . Furthermore, the concentration indexes of toxic gases SO2 (0.13), NO2 (0.101), CO (3.8) in the air of the area
The area is also much lower than the allowable standard. If we look at the measured parameters at Doc Do intersection, where the traffic volume is quite large, the suspended dust index (0.116) is much higher than the index at Lan pagoda. However, this index is still generally lower than the standard index. Even the toxic concentration indexes SO2 (0.48), CO (5.5) are almost within the allowable standard, only the NO2 concentration index (0.41) is slightly above the standard index. These are clearly encouraging and convincing indexes of the air environment of Yen Tu tourist area.
However, the noise index measured here does not meet the requirements. According to the above data, the noise index in the two measured areas, Lan Pagoda and Doc Do intersection, is 62.8 dB and 67.8 dB respectively, while the allowable index is 60 dB, which means it exceeds the allowable number. Although it exceeds the allowable noise index, it is clear that the excess index is not large and if there are reasonable measures to reduce noise in the area, it is thought that this problem will be solved.
+ Impact on water environment: With relatively abundant water and groundwater resources, the water environment for daily life and other purposes of the tourist area is provided from these two water sources. The system of service facilities here is arranged almost along the entire route, along with the fact that the technical facilities serving tourism are not guaranteed, causing the environment in the area to receive a large amount of wastewater from these tents every day. In addition, the issue of hygiene for tourists has not been paid much attention by the Management Board (the number of toilets along the route is not guaranteed in terms of quantity and quality), causing discomfort for tourists and affecting the ecological environment, causing the water environment to be somewhat affected.

+ Impact on biological resources: because local people here have rushed to exploit forest products for tourism purposes without being aware of their impacts (or they may be aware but due to their livelihood conditions), it can lead to a decline in biodiversity, affecting the regional ecosystem.
According to the investigation, the local people here exploit an average of 7kg of products per day. The exploited products are usually bamboo shoots, Morinda officinalis, Long Lao, Lac Tien extract, Dang Sam, and animals such as geckos, pheasants, pheasants, weasels, turtles, civets, etc. These are all valuable resources of Yen Tu. However, if an average of 50 people exploit each day, the amount of forest resources lost is 0.35 tons. A festival season will take a huge amount of resources from Yen Tu forest, up to tens of thousands of tons, while the forest's recovery capacity is limited.
+ Impact from solid waste sources: Environmental waste is always one of the urgent problems that no tourist area does not encounter and Yen Tu is no exception.
