영문 초록

Vietnam is a tropical monsoon climate country, situated within the tropical belt of the northern hemisphere. The location has created a background of heavy rain, high temperature and humidity. The country has a coastline of 3,260 kilometers along the range of Truong Son mountains which is 1,100 kilometers long. Vietnam has 107 forests with a total area of 2,381,791 ha, of which 11 National parks, 61 nature reserves and 34 historical forests. The country has 350 coral species including 95 species in the North Sea and 225 in the Southern Ocean. Besides the natural attractions distinctive features of religion, the archaeological, historical and cultural heritage are factors that create a great advantage in developing Ecotourism in Vietnam. Furthermore, Vietnam is considered as one of sixteen countries with highest biodiversity in a wide range of ecosystem. However, the recent sharp increase in the demand for ecotourism in Vietnam has caused considerable anxiety concerning the destruction of the natural environment. Accordingly, the need for environmental auditing as a tool to monitor the impact of ecotourism on the environment has been stressed not only for environmental protection, but also for the development of ecotourism in Vietnam. For this reason, this study aims to examine the possibility of adopting environmental auditing as a tool for evaluating and developing ecotourism in Vietnam.
