Abstract

Tourism services development presents a viable economic restructuring solution in response to the challenges posed by resource depletion and climate change in Lang Co Lagoon, Thua Thien Hue province. This research assesses the current status and impact of tourism business operations on household income and environmental resources within the Lang Co Lagoon area. We interviewed 60 fishing households engaging in tourism services (who primarily rely on tourism income while continuing fishing activities), questioned a community manager and a knowledgeable person in the region, and collected relevant secondary data. The findings reveal that the revenue generated from tourism activities significantly enhances income diversification for the households, with an average annual amount of 104.6 million VND, accounting for 18.6% of their total yearly earnings. Additionally, active involvement in tourism services has brought about a notable shift in the perception of households, particularly concerning their awareness of safeguarding the lagoon environment to promote tourism development.
