Today, tourism is an economic sector in which micro, small and medium-sized tourism enterprises account for the majority, especially in rural areas. While many rural areas have rich natural resources and cultural identity to develop tourism, tourism businesses here have difficulties in approaching partners and attracting visitors to visit and promote and introduce their products to partners and visitors. Therefore, Vietnam has raised an idea and been approved by the APEC Secretariat to implement the project “Increasing the prospect of connecting tourism businesses through the application of information technology to build and promote a network of micro, small and medium enterprises in community tourism in APEC rural areas”. The product of the project is the satellite website of the APEC website https://communitytourism.apec.org/ to introduce information, connect tourism communities in rural areas, thereby forming a network of tourism community tourism in the APEC region.
