A Critical Review of the Literature on the Lo Lo Ethnic Group in Vietnam

Tóm tắt

To date, scholarly research on the Lo Lo ethnic group (known as Lô Lô in Vietnamese) in Vietnam, particularly those residing in Cao Bang province, remains relatively limited. Despite their small population - fewer than 10,000 people - they are recognized as a minority group that has received notable attention from the State. Furthermore, their culture has been profoundly influenced by cultural exchanges and integration with the Kinh people, especially within the context of recent development of community-based tourism in the region. This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the Lo Lo people and their community-based tourism activities in Cao Bang province.
