needs of sightseeing, relaxation, entertainment, exploration, tourism resource discovery or combined with other legal purposes Tourism economics: A service-specific economy, often seen as a smoke-free industry, includes international and domestic tourism; has a mandate to organize the exploitation of the country's natural resources and landscape (natural resources, landscapes, economics, culture, history, etc.) to attract domestic tourists and in foreign countries, to organize on-spot trade in, import and export of goods and services for tourists Tourism Economics is an international peer

also known as Ngoc Island, is the largest island of Vietnam, also the largest of the twenty-two islands here, located in the Gulf of Thailand Phu Quoc Island along with other islands form Phu Quoc Island district under Kien Giang province The entire island district has a total area of 589.23 km² (according to land statistics in early 2011) In 2006, Phu Quoc was recognized by UNESCO as a world biosphere reserve, 62% of the island is primeval forest, so it has a very diverse ecosystem Geographical location: Phu Quoc is located in the Gulf of Thailand, in Kien Giang province, located in the southwestmost part of Vietnam's territorial waters Phu Quoc is an island with both forests and mountains with an area of 1320 km2, its length is 48 km from north to south and a population of about 80,000 people Phu Quoc is located 120 km from Rach Gia city and 45 km from Ha Tien town and 3km from countries in the region: Cambodia (nearest point), Thailand (500km), Malaysia (700km), Singapore (1,000km) Phu Quoc is 120km from Rach Gia city and 45km from Ha Tien town Approximately the area of Singapore island nation and has latitude coordinates of 10°26' to 11°56' (north-south length is 50km long), from meridian 103°50' to 104°05' (east-west width 28km) Climate The climate on Phu Quoc Island is mild and pleasant all year round, divided into distinct seasons including dry season and rainy season Because it is located at the gateway to the southwest monsoon, in the rainy season the humidity on the island is extremely high While the dry season is affected by the northeast monsoon, the temperature increases from April to May The average annual temperature of the island is only about 25-27 degrees Celsius The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 14 same period; revenue reached over VND 3,829 billion, an increase of 40.8% over the same period Photo 1: Number of tourists to Kien Giang province in January 2022 (According to statistics from Kien Giang Tourism Department 2022) + In the first quarter of 2022, the total number of Phu Quoc visitors had 1,097,011 tourist visits, an increase of 32.6% over the same period; of which, international visitors 26,036, (The first quarter of 2021 did not have international visitors) + In April 2022, the total number of visitors to Phu Quoc had 364,412 tourist visits, down 7.8% over the same period; of which, international visitors 7,350, an increase of 13.9% over the same period in 2021 Looking at the statistics, the number of tourists coming to Phu Quoc is increasing steadily, but the Asia-Pacific Tourism Association said that only about 10-40% of international tourists want to return to Vietnam for a second time While in Thailand, this rate is up to 80% The lack of entertainment experiences is one of the main causes At the same time, statistics show that the average spending of international visitors to Vietnam is only about 96 USD per day There should be investment development plans to attract international tourists to Phu Quoc as well as other tourist destinations to develop the tourism economy here The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 15 2.3.3 Tourism business establishments and technical facilities for tourism Being oriented to become a "high-quality tourism and resort center of the country, region and the world" so in recent years, the infrastructure system in Phu Quoc has received strong investment Along with the international airport, the system of roads around the island, across the island, fishbone roads connecting the main axis, coastal roads, walking areas it has also been built synchronously, ensuring an average of 60km/h Technical facilities for tourism in Phu Quoc island city have developed in both quantity and quality As of August 2019, Phu Quoc has 726 accommodation establishments with 22,654 rooms Of which, 97 establishments are rated star, with 1,985 rooms; 49 establishments are rated stars, with 1,754 rooms; establishments are rated stars, with 524 rooms; establishments are rated stars, with 1,218 rooms and 10 establishments rated stars with 6,861 rooms; the rest are motels and other types of accommodation establishments (Kien Giang Provincial Department of Tourism, 2019) 2.3.4 Tourism human resources and local community participation Tourism human resources Recognizing the importance of human resources for the development of the tourism economy, the island city has paid attention to training and improving the quality of tourism human resources and achieved certain achievements Specifically, in the period of 2018-2020, the tourism human resources of the island city have improved in qualifications and skills According to data of Kien Giang Tourism Department, the number of trained tourism workers gradually increases over the years from primary to graduate school The proportion of trained tourism workers increased by 7.23% In particular, the growth rate of the group of workers with high university and college degrees increased by 10.5% The number of untrained employees, although still accounting for a large number, has shown signs of slowing down over the years Besides some of the results achieved, Phu Quoc Island city is facing a serious shortage in the quantity and quality of tourism human resources The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 16 Currently, tourism human resources in Phu Quoc are only about 11,000 people who not meet half of the needs of the tourism industry (Nguyen Danh Nam and Uong Thi Ngoc Lan, 2020) The education level of the travel staff is still low In particular, postgraduate qualifications accounted for only 0.2% and university capital levels reached 8.1%; college level 12.3%; intermediate level 15.7%; Another level reached 14.6% The total number of untrained tourism workers accounted for 65.2% This is an unfavorable issue for tourism development in Phu Quoc Island city because the tourism human resources are qualified and skilled in skills and professions are weak and lacking As a result, many tourism businesses have difficulty recruiting, especially in the use of local workers Local workers are not yet able to take jobs according to the requirements of professional standards and skills set by the General Department of Tourism Meanwhile, the minimum wage to pay a local worker is relatively high compared to their actual capacity and qualifications Local community engagement Tourism activities in Phu Quoc have created a large number of jobs for the people here the proportion of local workers directly involved in tourism activities is very high and the per capita income reaches VND 4.5 million per month The poverty rate fell by 1.29% in 2015 to 0.34% in 2020 (Phu Quoc City People's Committee, 2020) That, proving that the development of marine tourism has contributed to solving jobs and bringing high income sources to local workers 2.3.5 Impact of covid19 epidemic on Phu Quoc tourism economy With the advantages of location and rich and diverse tourism potential, in the period of 2016-2019, the number of tourists to Kien Giang increased by an average of over 19% per year, of which international visitors increased by an average of over 30% per year, the total revenue from tourism increased by an average of more than 26% per year, contributing significantly to the overall economic growth of the province However, nearly years since the covid-19 epidemic appeared has affected most aspects of social life, tourism activities have been severely affected; The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 17 some travel businesses have dissolved, accommodation establishments have changed owners or leased; tourism workers are unable to find jobs due to the fact that tourism businesses cease operations for a long time; tourism targets decreased sharply; room capacity reached low, the tourist market both international and domestic decreased sharply, the total revenue from tourism decreased by an estimated more than VND 21,000 billion Photo 2: number of visitors to Phu Quoc from 10/02/2021 to 15/02/2021 (According to statistics of Kien Giang Tourism Department) Photo 3: Number of visitors to Phu Quoc in January 2022 (according to statistics of Kien Giang Tourism Department 2022) According to the above statistics, Phu Quoc has 203,086 tourist visits, down 26.9% over the same period; of which, international visitors 1,826 (international visitors

same period; of which Phu Quoc reached VND 249.7 billion, down 44.6% over the same period This shows that the tourism economy of Phu Quoc has been heavily affected Freezing for nearly two years has caused a sharp drop in visitor numbers, and local authorities and leaders need to work together to come up with remedies Mr Huynh Quang Hung - Chairman of Phu Quoc People's Commi琀琀ee said that"Năm 2020, 2021 năm khó khăn chưa có lịch sử ngành du lịch dịch vụ Tơi nghĩ năm 2022 có nhiều chuyển biến tích cực hơn, hiệu Phú Quốc sẵn sàng đón khách quốc tế nội địa” 2.4 The impact of leisure travel on the tourism economy in Phu Quoc 2.4.1 The needs of tourists when traveling leisure travel in Phu Quoc Transportation needs Transportation needs are the inevitable requirements of means of transportation that guests need to be satisfied to make their travels In Phu Quoc, there are many transportation services in tourism to meet the needs of tourists when traveling in Phu Quoc and also thanks to that, the transportation service has a stable income and creates many job opportunities for the people here Demand for accommodation facilities The demand for accommodation is the requirements of accommodation and dining products that guests need to satisfy in order to make their trip This is an essential need of visitors Currently, this island district alone owns about 500 accommodation establishments with approximately 10,000 accommodation rooms, of which more than half meet the standard of 3-5 stars The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 19 Major economic groups such as Vin group, Sun group, CEO group, BIM group, MIK group, Milltol Investment in Phu Quoc has made the economy grow rapidly at an incredible rate A series of prestigious hotel management brands are present here such as Novotel, Best Western Premier, Park Hyatt, InterContinental, JW Mariott making Phu Quoc a "high-class resort paradise", meeting the needs of not only domestic visitors but also a large number of international tourists Need to eat This is also an essential need of visitors The demand for dining is the requirements of the food

Department, 2022) The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 20 Statistics show the impact of leisure travel on phu Quoc's tourism economy And Phu Quoc is also gradually recovering from the Covid19 pandemic 2.4.2 The impact of leisure travel on the tourism economy in Phu Quoc Advantages It can be said that Phu Quoc tourism has developed its full strength in recent years due to the following main reasons: - The image of "Phu Quoc destination" has a great attraction for the market, especially the domestic market - Unique and rich tourism resources - Infrastructure system (transportation, power supply), facilities are invested strongly, transportation to Phu Quoc has been very easy, convenient - The system of accommodation facilities (and tourism real estate) is attracting strong investment and will continue to grow very strongly in the coming years is favorable for the development of tourist flow growth but also potential problems in capacity, environmental load capacity, society, orientation of long-term sustainable development However, there are still many issues that need to be solved and improved Disadvantage From the early days of tourism development, the issue of human resources has been one of the biggest challenges for Phu Quoc, even international tourism experts have proposed to build a Phu Quoc tourism business school to meet the needs of tourism development both regularly and community in Phu Quoc So far, this is still a big problem for Phu Quoc tourism and there is no solution in the near future Issues with phu Quoc tourism development today: Although there is a rich and unique system of tourism resources, it can be said that the exploitation of new resources is only at a very simple level, not yet promoting the full potential and value of resources Therefore, the efficiency of exploitation is still low, the sustainability is not high In addition, some artificial tourism products have been having a The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 21 significant impact on natural tourism resources as well as the highly sensitive environment of the island It can be said that Phu Quoc has resorts and resorts that are very high-end, but have not succeeded in creating highend tourism products, especially high-end tourism products based on nature) Tourism is growing so rapidly that perhaps the environmental infrastructure system is not keeping up, along with the increase in population, especially the increase in mechanics has caused tremendous pressures on the natural environment of Phu Quoc Island The rapid growth of the flow of tourists probably exceeds the adaptability and reception of the local community, the management capacity should also cause problems of social order and security of the island It can be said that, along with Sa Pa, Phu Quoc is one of the destinations with the most affected image due to the social fluctuations, the tourism environment in the country Currently, the trend of the especially high-end guest market has shifted towards Con Dao As stated above, with the hot development of tourism and the flow of investment capital over the past time somewhat exceeded the social load capacity of the locality, there have been certain effects on the image of Phu Quoc tourism Local people and the management apparatus are not prepared to be able to effectively and positively receive the economic opportunities brought by tourism, as well as face environmental and social problems and challenges in the development process The contributions of tourism development to the community are not commensurate, people have not been effectively involved in the tourism supply chain, there is no mechanism to share the profits of tourism with the people and contribute to the community Tourism is extremely hot as well as the real estate market causes many disturbances in socio-economic life The phenomenon of land speculation has also developed strongly hindering sustainable development efforts Because the average land price increases so high, investors also have to increase the density of land use, so the pressure on the natural environment and society is increasing The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 22 With the characteristics of an independent island, Phu Quoc has a natural and social environment system that is extremely sensitive to external impacts In the development conditions from the first steps, Phu Quoc is fully conditioned to build a strict management system, creating conditions to form a stable and sustainable development environment However, with the heat of an investment destination being offered many incentives, with pressure from investors, Phu Quoc missed the opportunity to build a foundation for solid long-term development The negative impact of leisure travel on Phu Quoc According to preliminary statistics in 2020 of Phu Quoc Department of Natural Resources and Environment, about 200 tons of waste are discharged every day on the island city, while the city's collection capacity is just over 60% It meets the city's huge waste disposal requirements The amount of uncollected waste and untreated wastewater drifts in the wild, according to the drains, canals and rivers that drift straight to the sea polluting phu Quoc's marine ecological environment The most polluted situation is taking place at Bai Lap hamlet beach, located in Ham Ninh commune, where Phu Quoc - Rach Gia passenger pier is located The second beach that is heavily polluted is The Dau Dau Beach, especially along the coast section across the hamlet of Screw Cage In addition, the forest area of Phu Quoc National Park is being reduced because of the deforestation of precious logging forests or encroachment of forests for other purposes In addition, the marine ecosystem consisting of coral reefs and seagrass beds in the core area of Phu Quoc Marine Reserve is showing signs of decline in quantity and quality by fishing and exploitation activities for excessive tourism activities Thus, with the rapid development of the annual number of tourists, tourism activities are one of the causes of negative impacts on the environment, which directly affects the natural ecosystem of nature reserves, shrinking coastal waters, It made the lips trường biển đảo địa phương có nguy đối mặt với phát triển thiếu bền vững The impact of leisure travel on tourism economic and sustainable tourism in Phu Quoc 23 CHAPTER 3: SOME PROPOSALS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN PHU QUOC According to the forecast, by 2030 Phu Quoc tourism will become the leading tourist destination in the region and in the world Therefore, the urgent issue now is to solve the problems of environment, land, real estate, investment, as well as local human resources here Solid waste from tourism and other activities will increase to 718 tons per day Therefore, if the phu Quoc Island city government does not find a solution, it will negatively affect phu Quoc tourism development plan in the future At the same time, it loses the image of Phu Quoc pearl for tourists and phu Quoc tourism status on the world tourism map 3.1 Solutions for sustainable development of marine tourism in Phu Quoc Island city On the basis of analyzing the potential of marine tourism development in Phu Quoc Island city, the situation of tourism development in the locality, the study offers a number of solutions to contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in the

characteristics, natural appearance and people here, thereby creating its own and impressive, different identity of Phu Quoc compared to the chain of marine tourist destinations in Vietnam and the world Secondly, attract and improve the quality of tourism human resources in a professional and effective way Due to the hot growth in a short time, the preparation of professional and professional human resources for the tourism and service sector in Phu Quoc is still many mechanisms and shortages Therefore, Phu Quoc tourism needs to have a policy of prioritizing the development of professional

priority is given to intensive investment in vocational training for the workforce in many forms at home and abroad; attract managers, qualified scientists, entrepreneurs, artisans, experts, highly skilled technical workers to participate in training; continue to provide skills training to the team of appraisers, supervisors, trainers and effectively use this team in tourism training In
