Since the worship of the fishermen exists all along the coast from the Gulf of Thailand in the south to Ha Long Bay and beyond in the north, the study is concentrated to the coastal area of central Việt Nam – that is in the Quảng Nam surroundings, mainly Hội An but also Đà Nẵng. The aspects of the representation of the worship in society as well as how it is looked upon by society, both religiously (according to tôn giáo) and politically, will also be dealt with. This study is based upon observation and non-structured interviews. Although partially being based upon Grounded theory, the study is theoretically inspired by Graham Harvey’s book Animism. Respecting the Living World. The outcome shows that the Cá Ông worship is based upon historical events and experiences.

    COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM 7.

At present, many efforts have been made to divert tourist’s flow to new tourist resources in combination with major tourist destinations. In order to catch up new trends of Asian tourism, many plans and projects for beach resort or ecotourism in Vietnam have been already formulated and made the best of potential tourism resources. However, many tourism resources have still disadvantages in encouraging tourism product development due to lack of infrastructure and insufficient tourist services. The Central Tourism Region is characterized as the historical-natural oriented destination in combination with Cham-Nguyen historical resources and coastal and mountain natural resources, in terms of the share balance of tourism resources among category of the cultural and natural resources as shown in Table 7.1.1.
