This thesis focuses on the religious culture in the former Ha Tay province in relation to tourism development, specifically the rapidly growing trend of cultural and spiritual tourism in Vietnam. The thesis clarifies the position and role of religious and cultural tourism within the overall system of cultural tourism products, and spiritual tourism in particular. It affirms the importance of this type of tourism based on its abundant resources, rich traditional culture, long history, significant importance in the people's consciousness, and the growing demand for tourism aimed at satisfying these spiritual and religious needs.

The thesis has proposed nine fundamental solutions to develop cultural and religious tourism in accordance with its potential and prospects, and to give it a position commensurate with other cultural and spiritual tourism types, such as Buddhist pilgrimage tourism, which currently accounts for 90% of the total number of visitors to this type of tourism. The solutions presented in the thesis include several novel approaches, such as establishing a mechanism for coordinated action among tourism stakeholders, comparing development experiences in other regions, and flexibly applying them to the former Ha Tay province.
