Tourism can play an important role in helping us meet the 2illennium 3evelopment 4oals set by the 'nited (ations since 555, especially the poverty reduction goals. , 4ender equality, environmental sustainability and international 6oint ventures for development. That is why sustainable tourism is an important part of the 'nited (ations7 sustainable development and strategic orientation for sustainable development in Vietnam.
%ustainable tourism development is a sub6ect of much discussion at conferences and small and large forums around the world. The main goal of sustainable development is to develop the three pillars of sustainable tourism - the nvironment, %ocial 0ulture and the conomy - to be developed in a harmonious. The reasons for going into detail to eplain why sustainable tourism development is much, but can be seen clearly in the three elements from the above definition. -8irst$ %ustainable tourism development helps to preserve the environment. 9rotecting the habitat does not simply protect rare and precious plants and animals living in that environment, but also protects the environment from which humans benefit$ "ir and land. nsuring a harmonious living environment for the animals and plants in the area is also helping the human environment to be ensured. -%econd$ %ustainable tourism development also helps to develop the economy, for eample$ from the eploitation of cultural specialties of the region, people in the area can improve their life as tourists visit. 'se of tourism services and products characteristic of the region. %ustainable tourism development also helps tourism workers, local authorities, government and travel organi&ers benefit, and local people have 6obs. Third$ %ustainable tourism development also ensures social issues, such as the reduction of social evils by providing employment to the people of the region. "t a more in-depth and far-reaching view, sustainable tourism helps eploited resources in a 4
conscious and scientific way, ensuring that these resources grow and develop for the net generation, future generations can be followed and utili&ed. 8or the three reasons mentioned above, we can clearly see the role and importance of sustainable tourism development in sustainable development policy in Vietnam and in the world. %ustainable tourism development in order to achieve these three elements requires a lot of hard work and serious during implementation, especially for a poor and dependent country like Viet (am. Together with the population growth, the overlapping rule of law, and the administrative system, there are many other factors that contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in Vietnam. ncountered many difficulties )nce again it must be determined that$ :%ustainable tourism is about meeting the current needs of visitors and the tourism sector while ensuring the ability to meet the needs of future generations;.
%ustainable tourism requires the management of all sorts of resources in such a way that we can response our economic, social and aesthetic needs while maintaining our cultural identity.

In particular, economic sustainability should be understood as the long-term sustainable development of tourism, generating substantial revenue, positively contributing to the socio-economic growth, benefiting The community, especially the local people.

We see eamples of introducing the above tourist destinations, both business tourism and environmental protection is a great challenge for businesses. Aowever, Vam %at Tourism has done that to date. To build the resort they chose the core &one of the forest, which long ago was the administrative office area of the district education school. 0reate landscapes, set up interesting points for visitors they do not cut any trees in this forest, all paths have to cross the forest, curved in an interesting way. The food here is also from nature such as daisy leaves, muddy fish, river prawns, lobsters ... They built a rainwater collection system, of course, have a waste water treatment system before leaving wave. The resort uses solar energy systems, provides hot water for guestrooms and kitchen areas. (ight vision lighting systems are daytime energy systems that emit light at night. 'sing water spraying system to save water and electricity,...Aowever, anything has two sides of it. We try to see %W)T of this destination =%trength$ -It is located in the most beautiful part of 0an4io7s mangrove forest. -The world7s biosphere reserve recogni&ed by '(%0) in the year 555. -Vam%at was also recogni&ed by '(WT) as a sustainable development of ecotourism in 55. -Fust @5 kilometers away from Ao 0hi 2inh 0ity. -Vam%at is beautifully located between the streams of Vam%at and BongTau /iver -/eally authentic dishes of natural, fresh, strange but very tasty. -There are many interesting sights. -%taff are very enthusiastic, most of the local people should understand the types of plants and animals to introduce to guests. -There are many local specialties for visitors to choose from =Weak point$ -3o protect the forest so the area for business tourism is not very large, visitors around the half day is the end of the service -The road from the highway to the resort is quite far, so deep inside that visitors are not much known - "dvertising is weak -3o the forest should have many mosquitoes *
- There is a campsite for students. -%hould have more services to retain customers to sell additional services. = Threats$ - 0ompetitors of the same type are more and more - 3ue to the area built in the forest, can not increase the area should not epand or make more attractions. This is a big challenge because guests will be bored because the service is not rich. - 9romote advertising. -Training professional staff, dynamic, fleible. IV. Conclusion:
"ccording to the World Tourism )rgani&ation *WT)+$ :%ustainable tourism development is the development of tourism activities to meet the current needs of visitors and indigenous people, while still interested to the preservation and embellishment of resources for future tourism development:. %ustainable tourism development is the most complete and comfortable way to meet the needs of tourists, attracting tourists to the present-day tourist destinations while protecting and improving the quality of the future. Tourism and the environment have a very intertwined relationship, as well as the relationship between people and the environment. The environment provides shelter and conditions for human life and all living thingsG The environment is also the place to receive, store and handle what humans and other organisms emit. "s long as there is a balance between these processes, life in nature and human life can continue to be normal.
becoming more pronounced. 0ountries recogni&e this danger and have issued a number of legal documents to prevent and limit the negative impact of tourism on the environment, both natural and man-made environments and stakeholders. The meaning of history, culture, archeology. The %tate of Vietnam has also promulgated many legal documents relating to environmental protection, cultural identity and customs in tourism activities. In addition to the Baw on nvironmental 9rotection, the Baw on 8orest 9rotection and 3evelopment, the Baw on Water /esources, there are general provisions, in 0hapter of the )rdinance on Tourism, there are si articles on the protection, eistence, eploitation and rational use. Tourism resources for the development of sustainable tourism, which prohibits all tourism activities adversely affect the environment. In addition, there are a number of government decrees and directives on ensuring order and security, environmental sanitation, food safety at accommodation establishments, tourist sites, but also to protect nvironmental protection in tourism activities.
