The results show that: with the advantages in community-based tourism development, Ha Giang province has made positive changes providing tourism products to serve tourists such as: the number of accommodation and dining establishments increased in quantity and quality of facilities; increase tours/routes that focus on famous local sights; human resources for tourism increase rapidly in quantity and service quality; The infrastructure for tourism also has many positive trips… However, due to the short time of construction and development of tourism in the locality, the form of tourism relies on the local people, whose qualifications and skills aren’t people's understanding of tourism service provision is limited; The seasonality of Ha Giang tourism creates a shortage of places to eat and stay in the peak season... In addition, the strong impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected the province's community tourism.
