Abstract

All over the world, the relationship between tourism and environmental protection has been of particular interest to researchers at an early stage. Currently, the tourism industry of Mekong Delta is not only facing development opportunities but also vital risks and challenges such as sea level rise, which has caused a heavy impact in recent years. The study aims to systematize the theoretical basis and determine the influence of tourism development in Mekong Delta in association with environmental protection. Based on the synthetic research methods selected to analyze and perform qualitative and quantitative research, the author conducted literature review as a basis for further studies to determine the influence of tourism development in the area in association with environmental protection and building up a research model. The research results show that the proposed model includes 07 factors: (1) Tourism management policy associated with environmental protection; (2) Tourism human resources; (3) Tourism environment and environmental protection; (4) Accessibility; (5) Infrastructure; (6) Tourism resources; (7) Tourism products that affect development in Mekong Delta are associated with environmental protection through an intermediate variable, called Tourism development.
