    Abstract


    Agricultural tourism presents significant opportunities for the comprehensive transformation of rural and mountainous areas by fostering activities that enhance income, generate employment, and strengthen community responsibility in preserving natural environments as well as local cultural, historical, and traditional values. Based on previous research, this article systematically synthesized theoretical issues related to sustainable agritourism development. These issues include resource planning to support agricultural tourism development, organizing businesses and forming supply chains for agricultural tourism products, constructing and optimizing tourism infrastructure, enhancing the effectiveness of collaborative activities, and advancing marketing, advertising, promotion, and market access strategies. The theoretical foundation for sustainable agritourism is essential in shaping the interconnected activities involved in policy-making, resource mobilization, planning, business management, and monitoring within both regional and inter-regional contexts. In Vietnam, the overall planning for agricultural tourism development must prioritize systematic and community-based approach to ensure the sustainability and long-term success of this sector.
