    Abstract


    The objective of the paper is to synthesize theoretical, practical, relationship, and influence issues of tourism development on economic - social- environmental livelihoods and directly impact on the livelihoods of local people; especially, the relationship between tourism development and the livelihoods of local communities. The results have shown that most investigations and the reality of tourism development models in the world as well as in Vietnam have not had only positive effects but also negative effects from economic -social -environment perspectives, and livelihood of local communities. The most positive effects of tourism development on livelihoods are to change the livelihoods of local people from being largely dependent on agricultural production for greater diversity, and higher incomes. The most obvious negative impact is the unequal distribution of benefits of local people and tourism development companies; Besides, there is a negative influence of social evils to the local traditional cultures.
