POVERTY REDUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN ETHNIC MINORITY AREAS WITH FEW PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY

Abstract

Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country, with 54 ethnic groups living together, including 53 ethnic minorities. Most of the ethnic minorities live in remote areas such as the northern mountainous provinces, the Central Highlands, the Mekong Delta... In recent years, our Party, State, National Assembly and Government have paid great attention to and promulgated many policies for ethnic minorities in general, including ethnic minorities with few people in particular, but due to difficult access conditions, life has become difficult of many ethnic minority families to be much lower than that of urban and lowland people. However, the living areas of ethnic minorities often have high biodiversity, attractive natural landscapes, especially rich traditional cultures. This is the advantage and potential to build tourism development orientations, community tourism and to be one of the measures to contribute to poverty reduction in a sustainable way in this area.
