Abstract
Tourism is considered one of the world's largest industries, accounting for about 9% of global GDP, contributing to economic growth and creating job opportunities, especially in developing countries. The potentials of cultural tourism such as cultural identities, customs, and unique festivals of about 22 ethnic minorities (Thai, Muong, Mong, Giao, Sinh Mun, Kho Mu...), make a difference especially for tourism products of the Northwest region.
Visitors' perceptions were analyzed through a questionnaire survey conducted in 2021. The sampling method used in the survey was a random selection. We need an industry that provides a way to minimize ecological impacts, benefit local communities and reduce poverty - an industry that is reflected in its organization and performance in the economic sectors of tourism, environment, and culture the role of community tourism with high responsibility. Therefore, especially important education through knowledge sharing and awareness-raising in rural mountainous areas is necessary and has practical significance.
