Reason for theme Nowadays, tourism has become a necessity of life. It is not only a key economy of nations but also a bridge of cultural exchanges among nations and areas in the world. Recently, the tendency of visiting remote mountainous regions, where ethnic minorities live, becomes very popular, especially as for foreign tourists and the youth because of wild natural landscapes and original cultural traits. Consequently, another from of tourism has been development, known as community - based tourism.
Community - based tourism is one of very attractive tourism types. It has brought in many benefits of economy and society to communities in the world. In Viet Nam, this type has been researched and put into practice in many locals. Such as: Mai Chau (Hoa Binh), Ba Be (Bac Can), Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Suoi Voi (Hue)…ete.
However, there is not special research on the manner of developing community – based tourism for each area. Community – based tourism activities in these areas do not rely on the result of scientific research that relies on experience. Therefore, we need research reality and learn from experience in order to orient the development of community – based tourism in Viet Nam. Community – based tourism in Hoa Binh has been developed for a long time.
The most typical is community – based tourism model in Mai Chau. The tourism operations in Mai Chau relies exploring culture tradition of Thai ethnic. During the tourism activities develop has been an inadequate problem such as adverse effect on culture tradition of local, pollution of environment…etc. 5 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The same Mai Chau, Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province, has many tourism resources.
Among them community - based tourism relies on exploring culture of ethnic minorities in Giang Mo - the most typical village. This is the main residential area of Muong people (one of the four major area of Muong) with traditional cultural values. The tourism activities at Giang Mo has been beginning and developing since 1980s. Giang Mo village has become an attractive destination.
However, the tourism operation there has not been managed effectively to meet its potentials. Thus, in the current tourism tendency, studying and expanding the community - based tourism in Giang Mo are very important. In order to improve tourism operations in Cao Phong, it’s necessary to study tourism potentiality as well as reality of the district. From that, we can design and build the suitable model.
For these reasons, the researcher decided to carry out an investigation into the issue titled: “Research on building models of community - based tourism (Case study of Giang Mo village, Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province)”.
