Sažetak
The study explores Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ecotourism in Da Nang, Vietnam, particularly
in riverine and montane areas. The city's commitment aligns with SDGs, providing a blueprint for post-2015
development. With a focus on ecotourism, Da Nang aims to create jobs, preserve local culture, and monitor
impacts according to SDGs. The research unveils stakeholders' views on ecotourism, emphasizing its potential
for employment and cultural preservation. Concerns persist over environmental impacts like water pollution
and deforestation. Informal discussions highlight challenges like local displacement, rising prices, and the need
for a sustainable plan. The paper suggests promoting environmental stewardship, community engagement, and
service provisions. Acknowledging its theoretical nature, the study paves the way for future quantitative analysis,
urging continuous research for Da Nang's sustainable ecotourism development.
