“…The other challenges are developing people at host areas (more entrepreneurs, professional, skilled tourism workforces), working with innovation, quality and connectivity and hunting for funding opportunities (Rahim, 2013), weak promotion strategy (Briandana et al, 2018), insuf�icient budget, inadequate planning, the absence of longterm considerations, insuf�icient community participation, lack of host communities awareness, lack of synergies among the agents, inadequate publicity and marketing (Nobi & Majumder, 2016, pp. 9-10), many poor family are usually still living around the coastal areas, limited investment, unsynchronized tourism development policies and natural resource deterioration and environmental pollution (Dien et al, 2019), transportation, limiting infrastructure and facilities, low budget, accessibility, quality human resources and less tourism awareness (Amalia et al, 2019), the emission of the industry (such as cruise), protection of wildlife from their overwatching activities, determining the person in charge for protecting the areas and management strategies including self-management and strategies monitoring (Aumiller, 2018).…”

Marine tourism is one of several economic drivers which contribute to local community livelihood and regional income. Many potential coastal areas are gradually developing and transformed by its’ local communities into local-scale tourisms which accommodate local or domestic or surrounding tourists’ recreational needs. However, to be sustainable, there are many issues need to be addressed. The study intends to explore Dalegan community perceived tourism issue in developing their WPP destination or white sand tourism. The study adopts qualitative method in gathering and analyzing the data. The data are gathered through Dalegan community dialog or interactive session during Dalegan community service program. The collected data are interpreted by implementing thematic analysis. The study reveals that there are three main issues faced by Dalegan local communities: financial, creativity and lack of legal procedures. The collaboration of financial service agents, educational institutions, (local) government bodies and local community inclusion is needed. The study demonstrates that to build Dalegan marine tourism, local/community leadership, local human quality improvement, local resources identification and local culture need to be used as the development grounds. The study also shows that the local community is still not aware of the environmental issues and diversification of recreational activities. Thus, local community still needs advocacy to understand the relationship between tourism and environment. The study also finds that local women are valuable human resource for marine tourism business. They are potential women entrepreneurs who develop small business around WPP marine tourism.

1. The Phu Quoc marine protected area (MPA) is a multiple-use MPA that was established in 2007 and is a component of Vietnam's National MPA System. The MPA is divided into two spatially separated zones based on habitat type: a seagrass zone and a coral reef zone.2. In this study, visual census data were collected in 2018-2019 and were used to derive fish biomass and community diversity metrics as proxies for ecosystem condition and function (trophic and mobility). The effectiveness of the MPA in protecting fish communities in the seagrass and coral reef zones was evaluated.An updated characterization of the Phu Quoc fish communities, and an assessment of fish community variation among regions and between habitat types, is provided.3. In total, 125 species representing 74 genera of 40 families were recorded.Omnivores were the most abundant (38%), followed by planktivores (24%), whereas piscivores (2%) were scarce. There was an especially low density of high-value fishery target species such as Haemulidae (<0.01%), Carangidae (<0.2%), Lethrinidae (<0.3%), Lutjanidae (<0.4%), Serranidae (<2%), and Chaetodontidae (<3%). Alarmingly, fishes with a total length of >20 cm only accounted for 1% of the total individuals. Species and functional composition were similar between protected and unprotected areas but differed among regions and between habitats.4. These results suggest that the protection of fishes provided by Phu Quoc MPA at the time of this study was ineffective. The taxonomic composition of fish communities has remained relatively unchanged over the last approximately 25 years, with the density of large fishes and commercial species remaining low.There is capacity to improve MPA performance by providing adequate resources for threat management and using evidence-based decision-making in management. The 2020 rezoning and expansion of the Phu Quoc MPA is discussed with regards to prioritizing biodiversity and coverage targets.

In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the UN General Assembly on 5 September 2015, 17 targets were set in line with the Sustainable Development Targets. In this study, the Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG15)—protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss—is discussed within the framework of the tourism sector. The study aims to propose a sustainable tourism vision and policy in line with the SDG 15. The study suggests the development of ecological tourism, which is a sustainable tourism vision, in line with SDGs.
