Reality of Accessing 10 Rules of Moral Conduct among Media Students and Recommendations

News Tuesday, 11:02 27-04-2021

The Code of Conduct issued by the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Journalists’ Association (here after referred to as the 2016 code) became effective since 1st January 2017 together with the Press Law. The 400-word code demonstrates our view about the mission of the media and the responsibility and behaviors of the media practitioners. This is an important development of Vietnam media in the context of the market economy and international integration. This article is based on the questionnaire with 500 media students from May to August 2018 with 136 students from the Academy of Journalism and Communication; 135 students from Hue University; 114 students from Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities and 115 students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Refining the Legal framework and intersectoral coordination mechanisms to promote Vietnam - ASEAN Cultural Tourism Cooperation

Abstract: Cultural tourism cooperation plays a vital role in the process of building the ASEAN Community, generating not only economic value but also enhancing regional identity and unity. This study analyzes the current state of international and domestic legal frameworks, notably the ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan 2016–2025, the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA), and Vietnam’s Law on Tourism 2017. The study indicates that, although Vietnam has made significant progress in domesticating international commitments and consolidating intersectoral coordination mechanisms through the National Steering Committee for Tourism, a number of obstacles remain, including regulatory overlap, challenges in heritage conservation, and issues concerning community intellectual property rights. Drawing on lessons from neighboring countries such as Thailand and Indonesia’s tourism ecosystem governance model, as well as Singapore’s experience, the article proposes several groups of solutions related to the development of a “framework law,” the digitalization of intersectoral data, and the reform of implementation mechanisms. These recommendations are intended to position Vietnam as an attractive cultural destination and to contribute to the successful realization of the ASEAN Community Vision.
