were a precious and unforgettable time of my life At the moment of the Master course application, I was working as a senior accountant for Taisei – Vinaconex Joint Venture, the main Japanese contractor conducted to build Noi Bai Airport International Terminal in Hanoi Before making a decision to apply for VJU Master course, I had spent a lot of time seeking an MBA course which cooperated between Vietnamese University and the Foreign University Finally, I decided to choose the Master program in VJU because VJU is not only appropriate for my career in my Japanese company but also a dynamic study environment where I would receive the strongest support from lecturers and VJU staffs and classmates I passed four semesters of hard daily struggling with myself but also enjoyed school life to archive the master degree The first semester was the time of struggling with changing my habits and behavior I had to force myself to be familiar with academic study after ten years of working engagement without learning the academic practice The second semester was the busiest time when the subjects were full schedule booked, daily classes attended, a bundle of tests and examinations were delivered At that moment, I had to arrange my schedule to adapt to both studying and working The third semester started with the four-month internship in Japan During four months from October 3rd, 2018 until February 2nd, 2019, I did an internship at Yokohama National University (YNU), one of the most famous historical universities in the beautiful city of Yokohama in Japan Throughout the learning activities, company visits as well as other exchange culture activities, I gained much knowledge but more importantly, I also had an exciting chance to experience studying in an international environment where I became acquainted with foreign students from different countries around the world It was a great opportunity for me to enhance my training of communication skills that I practiced through the giving of presentations, in discussions with my supervisory professors, and working in teams with my classmates from foreign countries Moreover, company visits provided me practical knowledge of many different business fields such as food and beverage, automotive, ii cosmetic, logistics, and the airline industry which will be necessary for my career in the future The fourth semester was the hardest time when I was struggling with a thesis to complete my master degree It was the time of reading academic materials, taking notes, conducting a survey, collecting and analyzing data, writing thesis little by little daily My master thesis would have never accomplished without the help and support of the kind people whom I mention below: First, I would like to thank my parents for their long caring support of love to me As well, I would like to express my thanks to my bosses and colleagues in Taisei – Vinaconex Joint Venture for their support during my job while I pursued my studies Especially, I am deeply appreciative to my professor supervisor Assoc.Prof Pham Thi Lien for her expert guidance, understanding, and encouragement throughout my study and research While starting my research with knowledge gaps but she instructed me to step by step with care and patience I also would like to express my gratitude to my professor supervisor Prof Tanabu Motonari who inspired the critical ideas and gave me valuable instruction for completing my thesis successfully With regard to my four-month internship in Japan, I must thank Prof Matsui Yoshiki, IPO staffs as well as professors and staffs of Yokohama National University who were always sided by side with me during the time I was there My gratitude goes to the entire MBA department of Vietnam Japan University for arranging the best facilities and schedules for us Last but not least, I would like to convey my gratitude to Japan International Cooperation Agency, Vietnam Japan University, Yokohama National University for funding and arranging this wonderful MBA Program, which helped me to develop myself both academically, professionally, and socially iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT i TABLE OF

Asia” issued by The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC, 2018), the contribution of tourism in GDP in 2017 is 329.5 billion USD and accounts for 12% of the total grand GDP and is estimated to continue to increase up to 598.3 billion USD in 2028 (estimated for 13% of total GDP) (WTTC, 2018) This rate points out the important role of tourism in economic development currently Therefore, South East Asia would be well served to develop tourism as an economic incentive Moreover, the impact of globalization and economic trends towards emergent Southeast Asia economies currently increased tourism demand in this area dramatically, thus bringing big potential in economic development In 2017, Asia and Pacific accounts for 30% of world international tourism receipts (UNWTO, 2017) Following these trends, Vietnam is also becoming an attractive destination for tourists In 2017, Vietnam welcomed 12.9 million international tourists, which offered a gain of 541 billion VND of income and directly contributed 7.9% of GDP (VNAT, 2017) To boost tourism development, the Vietnamese government has launched many activities such as issuing tourism legal documents, organized events, and festivals, improving public transportation and tourism facilities Also, tourism research has recently developed tourism reports which are published frequently and provide statistics Through the awareness of the important role of marketing in tourism, tourism marketing strategies are also focused on promoting Vietnam as a destination image to the world through advertising actives, exhibitions, and international cooperation Tourist marketing researchers trying to find better solutions for Vietnam marketing tourism are concentrated on 1) evaluating the tourist satisfaction at destinations (Thuy, 2006; Giang, 2013); 2) the impact of destination on loyalty (Huong, 2015); and 3) tourism service quality to behaviour Pizam, A., Neumann, Y., & Reichel, A (1978) Dimentions of
