This article focuses on analyzing Singapore’s outstanding experiences in sustainable tourism development. Based on these insights, the paper proposes specific and feasible implications for Vietnam, helping to guide the strategic direction of sustainable tourism development in a way that is effective and appropriate to the country’s actual conditions
