The ST4SD is looking for a consultant to revise the Vietnam Tourism Development Index (VTDI).<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Main Tasks and Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The consultant will work under the coordination of the ST4SD Project and in close collaboration with an international consultant and the Vietnam National Authority Tourism (VNAT). Key tasks include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Desk Review<\/em>: Reviewing the current structure of the 111 indicators across the 17 pillars of the VTDI 2024. Analyzing the shortcomings of using VTDI for “ranking” and researching destination self-assessment models worldwide.<\/li>\n
  • Restructuring the indicator set<\/em>: Developing a new methodology framework divided into two layers: a mandatory “Core Indicators” layer for the entire country and a “Context-Specific Indicators” layer allowing localities to select based on their specific resources (sea, mountains, heritage, etc.).<\/li>\n
  • Transforming the measurement method<\/em>: Developing a new scoring and reporting methodology. Transitioning from a relative comparison (ranking) system to absolute benchmarking\/gap analysis combined with a traffic light system helps identify risks and weaknesses.<\/li>\n

  • \u00a0Stakeholder consultation<\/em>: Attending consultation meetings with VNAT, with the participation of provincial tourism departments representing different regions and other relevant stakeholders to refine the methodology.

      \n
