Field research for the study was undertaken on a model CBET project in Giao Xuan commune near Xuan Thuy National Park, a wetland recognized for its importance to environmental conservation. Study findings indicate that community members in the Giao Xuan CBET project have actively learned to make CBET an effective strategy linking the development of ecotourism with sustainable development.Text1 digital file (325 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenTOURISM DEVELOPMENTVIET NAMECOTOURISMENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONTRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGECOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY POWERENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTThesis
