Legal Inadequacies in the Management of Adventure Tourism Products Affecting Tourists’ Life and Health

Abstract

Adventure tourism in Vietnam is developing rapidly but the regulatory framework still has many gaps, so this study focuses on analyzing the current regulatory system and proposing solutions to improve it to ensure the safety of tourists as well as promote sustainable development. Based on the qualitative method, analyzing legal documents combined with comparison with international experience, the results indicate that current Vietnamese law only stops at the enumeration approach, lacks specific technical standards and has not established a risk management mechanism as well as clear responsibilities. The new point clarified in the article is to identify the systemic nature of these shortcomings, at the same time suggesting the possibility of building legal standards based on risk level classification. From there, it can be seen that improving the legal corridor not only protects the safety of tourists but also creates a foundation to enhance the competitiveness of Vietnam's tourism industry.
