Ecotourism is a sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly economic development trend. Many countries worldwide have successfully implemented policies to manage nature conservation, biodiversity, tourist control, education, and raising awareness of ecotourism. Effective management of ecotourism is a challenge between economic development and environmental protection. In this context, the article presents the problem of ecotourism management in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the largest cities in Vietnam today. The article focuses on clarifying the concept, role, characteristics, and contents of state management of ecotourism to help improve this work's efficiency in the future.
