Abstract

Coastal tourism includes diverse resources and activities, so a comprehensive assessment is required to implement the sensible use of tourism potential. This paper deals with a comprehensive assessment of tourism potential in the coastal region of Vietnam based on 4 dimensions: attractiveness, accessibility, tourism service quality, and environmental quality & safety, covering 23 criteria. Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Correlation analysis, and a Geographic Information System (GIS) were used in this study. AHP was applied to determine a weighting coefficient for each criterion. PCA was processed next to AHP, allowing a combination of the considered sites' internal and external tourism potentials. Then the relationship between tourism potential and revenue is tested based on correlation analysis. The results show that the provinces in the South-Central region have the highest potential for coastal tourism development, followed by the North Central region. The Northern and Southeast region provinces and Mekong River Delta have low potential. However, there are still some bright spots for coastal tourism development in these regions, such as Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and Kien Giang. This research also shows that tourism revenue depends more on external factors (supporting factors) than internal factors (tourism resources). Finally, the study proposed development plans for each group of coastal provinces based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as suggested solutions to overcome the limitations of seasonality and the impact of climate change on Vietnam's coastal tourism.
越南沿海旅游潜力综合评估
沿海旅游包括多种资源和活动,因此需要进行全面评估,以合理利用旅游潜力。本文基于吸引力、可及性、旅游服务质量和环境质量与安全4个维度,涵盖23个标准,对越南沿海地区的旅游潜力进行了综合评估。本研究采用层次分析法(AHP)、主成分分析法(PCA)、相关分析法和地理信息系统(GIS)。应用层次分析法来确定每个标准的加权系数。PCA是在AHP之后处理的,允许将所考虑的景点的内部和外部旅游潜力相结合。然后在相关分析的基础上检验了旅游潜力与收入之间的关系。结果表明,中南部地区的省份具有最高的沿海旅游发展潜力,其次是中北部地区。北部和东南部地区省份以及湄公河三角洲的潜力较低。然而,这些地区的沿海旅游业发展仍有一些亮点,如广宁、胡志明市、八里头顿和建江。这项研究还表明,旅游收入更多地取决于外部因素(支持因素),而不是内部因素(旅游资源)。最后,该研究根据每组沿海省份的优势和劣势提出了发展计划,并提出了克服季节性限制和气候变化对越南沿海旅游业影响的解决方案。
