Abstract
This research explores the concept of Slow Food Tourism (SFT) and examines the opportunities and challenges for its development in Vietnam. Grounded in the principles of slow philosophy and sustainability, the SFT emphasizes the active participation of tourists, farmers, and local communities. Drawing on a review of existing literature and case studies, this study identifies Vietnam's rich culinary heritage and traditional agriculture as key assets for SFT development. However, significant challenges, such as limited infrastructure, insufficient policy support, and a lack of awareness and training among stakeholders, hinder their potential. The paper concludes with recommendations for leveraging Vietnam's unique strengths, while addressing these barriers to promoting SFT as a sustainable tourism model.
