Abstract

Nowadays, sustainable tourism development is one of the most essential targets in the socio-economic development strategy of Vietnam in general and Tay Ninh Province in particular. Especially, Duong Minh Chau district has many favorable conditions such as being an important trade bridge in the Southeast economic region, and having many historical and cultural relics, which include temples, shrines, revolutionary bases and so on. These relics are both pride and motivation to develop sustainable tourism, making a contribution to the economic and social development of Duong Minh Chau district. Based on theoretical research on sustainable tourism development and fieldwork surveys conducted in Duong Minh Chau district, the article contributes to identifying the value of this district's historical and cultural relics to promote tourism development. It is necessary for us to unify the guiding viewpoint of local authorities on the balance between preserving and exploiting the values of relics, combining propagating and mobilizing people's resources for expoitation and ensuring sustainable tourism development of the local areas in the future.
