10. Summary of the thesis results:
The thesis "Developing Heritage Tourism in Dong Anh, Hanoi" focuses on researching the conditions and current state of cultural heritage tourism development in Dong Anh, thereby proposing solutions to link tourism exploitation with the preservation of heritage values and ensure the benefits of the community in the context of urbanization.
This thesis identifies the lack of comprehensive research on the development of cultural heritage tourism in Dong Anh, particularly in examining the relationship between supply, tourist demand, and coordination among stakeholders in a suburban heritage area.
This thesis systematizes related concepts and theories, builds an analytical framework based on the supply-demand relationship in tourism, and links it to the roles of the community, local government, policies, and the development environment.
This thesis clarifies the involvement of government, businesses, and communities in conservation, organization of activities, and provision of tourism services. In particular, the contribution of female workers is considered in relation to heritage practices, serving tourists, and local livelihoods; while also highlighting limitations in coordination, decision-making participation, and benefit sharing.
The thesis proposes six groups of solutions, including improving the supply of tourism; developing tourism demand; enhancing community participation; protecting the environment and cultural spaces; strengthening the role of local authorities; and improving policies and their effectiveness for heritage tourism development.
This research contributes to concretizing the supply-demand and stakeholder approach in heritage tourism research in suburban areas; supplements practical evidence on the gap between heritage potential and the capacity for organized exploitation; and provides a basis for proposing solutions for developing cultural heritage tourism suitable to the conditions of Dong Anh.
