Investigative journalism about illegal wild animal trafficking is a field, which requires the reporters to have not only journalistic expertise but also investigation skills in addition to other knowledge and experience. It is extremely important to understand the nature of wild animal trafficking with regards to the causes, process, traffickers, purposes, market and the techniques to cover their crime. It is also important to understand the view of different countries and organizations on the issue and how journalism in Vietnam deals with it. The understanding of these issues will give the reporters an overview so as to identify their direction and enhance their capacity in probing into specific aspects of wild animal trafficking.

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.
