Abstract

In the context of climate change in the current period, countries and territories around the world are increasingly concerned with the development associated with ecosystem conservation. In preserving the ecosystem to support green tourism, the awareness of tourism workers and tourists who enjoy and use tourism services is key. This is why, when looking back at our ancestors through literature, we recognize that they were highly aware of ecological issues, respecting and relying on nature to nourish both the physical and spiritual well-being. The poet Nguyen Trai’s aspiration for “quy son” associated with the Con Son relic complex in Chi Linh, Hai Duong (expressed in his Chinese poetry collection Uc Trai thi tap - Uc Trai’s poetry collection), is a typical example. This is the main content that we raise and discuss in this report.
