Abstract
The paper recapitulates some characteristics of tourism which make this activity convenient to the contribution of poverty alleviation. Concrete examples in Viet Nam show that efficient participation of local community in tourism can help to improve their living standard. Through community-based tourism, benefits gained by local people are innumerable such as income raise, stable work, enrichment of knowledge, etc. Simultaneously, they enhance their responsibility to tourist activities, protection of environment, preservation of local culture and traditional craft. Community-based tourism not only takes an active part in poverty reduction, but also proves to be a good approach towards sustainable tourism development in Viet Nam.
