... The development of evaluation criteria included a review of relevant criteria from previous studies and surveys in the research area and consultations and discussions with experts, such as tourism scientists, authorities, and tourism businesses, to choose and supplement criteria (ASEAN, 2016;Asmelash & Kumar, 2019;Eshliki & Kaboudi, 2012;GSTC, 2019;Harun et al., 2018;Hong Pham, 2014;Huayhuaca et al., 2010;Lin & Lu, 2013;Long et al., 2012;Miller, 2001;Peters et al., 2018).

Community-based tourism (CBT) has become a popular segment of sustainable tourism development worldwide to provide community welfare and empowerment. CBT has been pushed as one of the strategies for poverty alleviation, particularly in marginalized regions and communities. Thus, tourism has also experienced negative impacts creating a developmental conflict. This study proposes an integrated methodological approach that provides solutions for assessing tourism sustainability and advancing CBT development approaches and operations towards sustainability in rural communities in Hoi An, a heritage destination in Vietnam. The assessment is a combination of resident interviews, the fuzzy AHP approach, and the sustainability value of the Barometer of Sustainability. Retrieved from literature review, surveys and expert judgments, twenty-one indicators were selected to assess and evaluate the level of economic, socio-cultural, environmental, and management sustainability at a local scale. The final sustainability index reveals that CBT in Hoi An has overall potential sustainability. Economy, identified as the most critical criterion, ranked third in the sustainability level, while Culture-Society exceeded the potential sustainability score. Critical factors are community development policies, capacity building, full community participation and support, and environmental sustainability. The study contributes to the fragmented knowledge of assessing CBT sustainability and concludes that this is a reliable and feasible approach suggesting critical implications for sustainable development. It will appeal to policymakers, planners, and practitioners seeking more effective tools for planning and developing CBT.

In term of economic benefits, tourism brings large income into a local economy in the form of goods or services payment (UNEP, 2003;UNWTO, 2012), generates employment and earning opportunities for local residents (Chen & Chen, 2010). Additionally, for host community, tourism development provides opportunities to develop their own businesses such as travel agencies, bars, pubs, restaurants, accommodation services, etc. (Ismail & Turner, 2008;Nunkoo & Ramkissoon, 2010;Jaafar & Maideen, 2012;Long, 2014). Furthermore, tourism plays an important role in infrastructure developments such as roads, bridges, sewage projects, museums, craft centers and enhance the standard of living of the host citizens (Andriotis & Vaughan, 2003;Kuvan & Akan, 2005;Lee et al., 2007). ...
... On the socio-cultural aspects, tourism contributes to the nation development, promotes exchanges, and enhances understanding among nations and people (Bersales, 2005;Tovar & Lockwood, 2008). On the contrast, many studies (e.g., Andriotis, 2004;Huttasin, 2008;Tovar & Lockwood, 2008;Chen & Chen, 2010;Long, 2014;Long & Kayat, 2011) reported that many destination's residents suffer price inflation. Tourism development can impact negatively on socio-cultural, environmental and economy due to lack of planning and integration with local values and environment ( Tatoglu et al., 2002;Lee et al., 2007) ...
Phu Quoc island of Kien Giang Province in Vietnam has great potentials and invaluable resources for tourism development. Nonetheless, Phu Quoc tourism is faced with several challenges as result of rapid growth. The study examined the perception of local residents, tourism businesses and tourist about sustainable development in tourism industry. Authors used both quantitative and qualitative research approach to explore the subject. The authors used secondary and primary data to provide insights on the subject. Secondary data relies on vast sources, including Kien Giang department of tourism, statistical departments of Kien Giang and Phu Quoc, annual all-level governmental reports, state-run businesses among others. We administered questionnaires to 230 local residents, 150 businesses, and 530 tourists. Furthermore, semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted in Phu Quoc with local residents, businesses, tourists, local authorities’ officers, and especially with 12 experts who are stakeholders of Phu Quoc tourism as well. The results suggest that principles of sustainable tourism development have not been fully complied with, especially, social and environmental facets. The study concludes that stakeholders should be educated on sustainable tourism development.
Undoubtedly, tourism is growing strongly worldwide, especially in developing countries and rural areas. Tourism has both positive and negative impacts on tourist destinations that link sustainable development's economic, social, and environmental components. The local community's attitude is crucial for future tourism planning, management, and development of a tourism destination. As such, the paper analyzes the attitudes and perceptions of the residents towards tourism development in the rural areas in Hoi A city, Quang Nam province. Questionnaires related to the local demographics, people's assessment of tourism impacts, and their support for future tourism development were sent to 179 households participating in tourism sectors in four rural areas of Hoi A city. Descriptive statistics and principal component analysis were used to analyze the collected data. The results indicate that tourism brings many benefits in all aspects. Culture – society, environment, and education promote residents' support for tourism development.
