“…Several tourism scholars have identified collaborative relations and networking as crucial elements in destination development (Buhalis, 2000;Bramwell & Lane, 2000;Crouch & Ritchie, 1999;Enright & Newton, 2004;Selin & Chavez, 1995). Some authors explicitly link the concept of networking to those of destination lifecycle and entrepreneurship.…”

“…However, on a macro level, the Vietnamese park system is fighting for destination competitiveness with other nature-based destinationsin the region and in the world. Crouch and Ritchie (1999) claim that for destinations to succeed, they must ensure that their overall attractiveness and the integrity of the experiences delivered to tourists must be greater than or at least equal towhat other alternative destinations can offer. For the external stakeholders, neither a state-management model nor a private-management model exists, not even a joint-venture model.…”

“…The PNKB NP is a naturebased destination or a tourism cluster. The park demands greater cooperation and collaboration at the local level to ensure a quality tourism product that can compete effectively at the global level (Crouch & Ritchie, 1999), a concept that some authors refer to as coopetition (Edgell & Haenisch, 1995). The co-existing management model currently lacks the essence of coopetition.…”

Abstract:The Vietnamese Special-Use Forests policy introduced in 2006 has transformed the park and protected area governance of the country from being a state responsibility to a multicomponent system, under which power is distributed among public and private sectors. This coexisting management model is a special form of concession. This unique management model has long been applied to the management of national parks in Vietnam, but studies on the public and private sectors and/or combined management bodies concurrently managing tourism and recreation services in a national park are scarce. Thus, this study investigates the co-existing management model in the Vietnamese park system with the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park as a case study. The study describes, analyzes and evaluates the model, as well as explains how it works in the Vietnamese park system. This study contributes to knowledge on the governance and management of national parks in Vietnam. Practical applications of the governance model to park management in other regions and countries are also discussed.

“…En la literatura se encuentra una variedad de modelos que proponen dimensiones, pilares y variables para medir la competitividad, resultando en la posibilidad de extraer un listado de atributos de los destinos susceptibles de ser inventariados (Crouch & Ritchie, 1999;Ritchie & Crouch, 2003;Dwyer & Kim, 2003;Heat, 2003;Hong, 2009). No obstante, los modelos son bastante generales, existiendo poca literatura que trate modalidades específicas de turismo, dejando un grado de abstracción en el concepto, ya que un destino raramente será competitivo en todos los tipos de turismo (Gandara & Chim-Miki, 2014).…”
