Main Article Content
Abstract
This article gathers information to clarify the positive economic impacts of community-based tourism, along with the advantages and challenges involved in developing this type of tourism in Con Chim, Tra Vinh province. The research findings indicate that the expansion of community-based tourism in Con Chim has resulted in significant economic improvements, such as increased income for local residents, the creation of more job opportunities, reduced dependence on agriculture, etc. While the advantages are evident, some challenges must be addressed to ensure sustainable growth. In addition, this development allows the local community to gain more knowledge, develop essential skills, and enhance their overall well-being. Based on these findings, educational solutions are suggested to further promote the positive effects of community-based tourism, supporting long-term economic sustainability.
