Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between students’ perceptions of responsible tourism and their actual travel behaviors within the Hospitality and Tourism Institute - Duy Tan University. The primary objective was to determine whether students' understanding of responsible tourism influences their travel behaviors in practice. The study used quantitative methods with a survey instrument designed based on a 5-point Likert scale. A sample of 490 students participated in a structured questionnaire, followed by semi-structured interviews with a selected subset of participants. The results are expected to reveal a significant correlation between students' perceptions of responsible tourism and their actual travel behaviors. Additionally, the study aimed to identify gaps between knowledge and practice, highlighting the need for stronger educational programs to bridge this divide. Overall, the study underscores the importance of promoting deeper awareness to foster more responsible actions among future tourism professionals.
