My thesis could not be done without their constant encouragement and support. I am most grateful to Mr. Vo-Tong Anh and Mr. Ken Philips for their endless stimulation and support to my academic journey in Australia. Without their stimulation, pursuing PhD studies may still be in my dream. My greatest debt is to my main supervisor, Dr. Philip Taylor, for his bunch of rich, fruitful and insightful discussions and comments, endless support, and valuable advices throughout my PhD studies.

  • Sustainable Development of Rural Tourism in an Giang Province, Vietnam
    sustainability Article Sustainable Development of Rural Tourism in An Giang Province, Vietnam Nguyen Thanh Long 1,† and Thanh-Lam Nguyen 2,*,† ID 1 Faculty of Business Administration, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam; [email protected] 2 Office of International Affairs, Lac Hong University, Dong Nai 810000, Vietnam * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +84-169-503-8389 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 16 February 2018; Accepted: 19 March 2018; Published: 25 March 2018 Abstract: This study aims at sustainably developing rural tourism in An Giang Province, an agricultural province located in the South of Vietnam, by identifying the determinants of the satisfaction and revisit intention of tourists based on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. From exploratory interviews with experts and comprehensive group discussions, we developed a questionnaire for an official survey of 507 tourists at different tour-sites in An Giang Province. It is found that: (1) there are seven key factors affecting the satisfaction of the tourists, including: spirituality, tourism safety and security, people, food and beverage, natural environment, service prices and tourism infrastructure; and (2) revisit intention of tourists is affected by six factors, including: satisfaction, spirituality, tourism safety and security, people, food and beverage and service prices. Among them, spirituality is a new factor to be thoughtfully considered due to its significant influence on both the tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. From these findings, we proposed some managerial implications for the sustainable development of rural tourism in An Giang Province by enhancing the satisfaction and revisit intention of the tourists after they visit the province.

    ACCOMMODATING TRADITIONS OF HOSPITALITY IN A TOURIST REGION: THE MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM by THI QUYNH NGOC BUI A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Hospitality plays a central role in the development of tourism but brings with it its own traditions and is rooted in local heritage and culture. While there has been a significant focus on the ways in which hospitality has been commodified, commercialised and standardised in many parts of the world, less attention has been given to the ways in which existing local traditions of hospitality have and are adapting to the pressures of tourism development. The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam has long been noted (certainly in Vietnam) for its heritage of hospitality. This region, as in many parts of Vietnam, has witnessed the rapid development of tourism over recent years but in the face of limited tangible heritage sites and attractions, it is the more intangible traditions of local hospitality that are now part of the tourist offer.

    American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS) ISSN (Print) 2313-4410, ISSN (Online) 2313-4402 © Global Society of Scientific Research and Researchers http://asrjetsjournal.org/ Indian Values in Oc Eo Culture Case Study – Go Thap, Dong Thap Province Hien Le* 10-12 Dinh Tien Hoang, Ho Chi Minh City 08, Vietnam Email: [email protected] Abstract Oc Eo is one of the ancient cultures in the Southern part of Vietnam, which belonged to the ancient Funan Kingdom. The ancient Funan was the earliest nation formed and developed in Southeast Asia between the 1st and 7th century AD. In its heyday, the Kingdom was highly developed in terms of society, economy, and great military power. Oc Eo port was considered as an important international market and also one of the centers of culture and commerce of Funan. When considering Funan, it was Oc Eo that was mostly mentioned, the economy and culture of Oc Eo reflected that of Funan. What belongs to this culture now is only in the form of antiques, artifacts and monuments scattering throughout the lands in southern Vietnam such as An Giang, Kien Giang, Tien Giang, Dong Nai, Long An and Tay Ninh province, etc. particularly Dong Thap which is known for the historical site and relics of Go Thap which bear all the imprints of India such as Go Minh Su, the Sun God temple, Shiva temple, Vishnu temple, God Pond, God sculptures, golden Buddha, stone, wood, and reliefs. Each single relic and artifact in Go Thap contains cultural and religious values of India.
