Building and Developing a Community-Based Cultural Village Model to Serve Tourism in An Giang: Practices and Solutions

Abstract

The construction of community-based cultural village models to serve tourism has long been a focus for foreign countries and some regions in Vietnam. As a province in the Mekong Delta, An Giang is renowned for its historical sites and the rich cultural blend of four ethnic groups: Kinh, Hoa, Cham, and Khmer. This diversity offers immense potential for building and developing cultural villages to support tourism. To achieve this goal effectively, comprehensive studies from various aspects are essential to summarize experiences for application in An Giang. By using methods such as document analysis, statistics, and comparisons, this study extracts lessons learned from other countries. Based on evaluations of current conditions and references, this study proposes solutions for building and developing cultural village models to serve tourism in An Giang, contributing to sustainable tourism development both locally and nationally in Vietnam.
