“…(2) the private-management model, which involves leasing forestland to private groups or companies to organise ecotourism businesses; and (3) the joint-venture model, which includes existing associations and other forms of investment in ecotourism activities (Ly & Xiao, 2016). In the Vietnamese NPs' management system, the statemanagement model is still dominant although several NPs have started to apply the co-existing management model to meet development and conservation needs.…”

IUCN defines a protected area as: A clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effec ve means, to achieve the long-term conserva on of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. The defini on is expanded by six management categories (one with a subdivision), summarized below. Ia Strict nature reserve: Strictly protected for biodiversity and also possibly geological/ geomorphological features, where human visitation, use and impacts are controlled and limited to ensure protection of the conservation values. Ib Wilderness area: Usually large unmodified or slightly modified areas, retaining their natural character and influence, without permanent or significant human habitation, protected and managed to preserve their natural condition. II National park: Large natural or near-natural areas protecting large-scale ecological processes with characteristic species and ecosystems, which also have environmentally and culturally compatible spiritual, scientific, educational, recreational and visitor opportunities. III Natural monument or feature: Areas set aside to protect a specific natural monument, which can be a landform, sea mount, marine cavern, geological feature such as a cave, or a living feature such as an ancient grove. IV Habitat/species management area: Areas to protect particular species or habitats, where management reflects this priority. Many will need regular, active interventions to meet the needs of particular species or habitats, but this is not a requirement of the category. V Protected landscape or seascape: Where the interaction of people and nature over time has produced a distinct character with significant ecological, biological, cultural and scenic value: and where safeguarding the integrity of this interaction is vital to protecting and sustaining the area and its associated nature conservation and other values. VI Protected areas with sustainable use of natural resources: Areas which conserve ecosystems, together with associated cultural values and traditional natural resource management systems. Generally large, mainly in a natural condition, with a proportion under sustainable natural resource management and where low-level nonindustrial natural resource use compatible with nature conservation is seen as one of the main aims.

“…in Vietnam could become a barrier for parks to the achievement of sustainable development (Ly & Xiao, 2016a). One interviewee explained the non-sustainable development culture by comparing the tourism management philosophy of the Vietnamese with a fruit-harvesting activity: "people like to harvest the ripe fruit, and destroy the unripe fruit at the same time, not saving it for the next generation".…”

“…In the new era of SUF's management policy, the Vietnamese park system has witnessed the existing of two management models simultaneously, namely the parastatal model and public and for-profit model (Ly & Xiao, 2016a). Such public-private management practices, which aim for better efficiency and effectiveness and determine the best alternative for fulfilling the triple mandate of park management (Su & Xiao, 2009) (Tran et al, 2007;Vo, 2008).…”

Implementing carrying capacity is a prerequisite for national parks striving to meet the three mandates of park management, namely recreational use, conservation and economic value. This study attempts to investigate the application of carrying capacity management in Vietnam's park system and to assess its application for further development of the concept. Findings show that there are three different approaches to the implementation of carrying capacity in Vietnamese parks, including 1) a laissez-faire approach, 2) a relaxed approach, and 3) a strict approach. It is suggested that economic consideration is one of the major constraints to the implementation in developing countries such as Vietnam. This study not only contributes to the literature of the capacity management in national parks, especially in the context of developing countries, but its findings are also valuable for park authorities to achieve the triple mandates of park management.

“…Successfully balancing nature conservation, tourism activities and economic benefits in protected areas also largely depends on governance authority (Dearden, Bennett, & Johnston, 2005;Ma, Ryan, & Bao, 2009;Pigram & Jenkins, 2006). A more comprehensive study of management approaches in protected areas can assist and improve the management effectiveness in the field (Hawthorn, Kirik, & Eagles, 2002), as well as explain the rationales for choosing a certain management model (Hockings, Stolton, & Dudley, 2000;Hockings, Stolton, Leverington, Dudley, & Courrau, 2006;Ly & Xiao, 2016;Randle & Hoye, 2016). By determining the motives and constraints, according to Saayman (2006), targeted promotional activities can be undertaken and specific factors can be taken into account when marketing strategies are planned.…”

The establishment of national parks is motivated by the preservation of natural values and resources or, more precisely, landscape and biodiversity, as well as satisfying scientific, educational, health and recreational, tourism, cultural and other needs. They have two often conflicting purposes: to protect important natural and cultural resources and to offer the possibility to use these areas as well as to enjoy them. People love to travel to protected natural areas just because on a relatively small but representative territory they can see a large number of plant and animal species, as well as participate in recreational activities in a pristine environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the motives and constraints for visiting national parks in relation to age, education level and employment status. The research was conducted among the London residents who are potential visitors of national parks in England. A total of 107 respondents were questioned through an online survey. The results obtained in this study showed that there are differences in motives and constraints in relation to sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents. The results of this study could direct the management of national parks to focus more on identifying and meeting the needs of potential visitors because of the increasing popularity of ecotourism.
