- <p>The research paper examines the impact of climate-related disasters, specifically Typhoon Yagi, on the process of achieving sustainable tourism development in Vietnam. Coming against the backdrop of the growing uncertainty of the climate, the study is based on three major themes, namely, the issue of the extent of the disasters, the success of community adaptability, and the effectiveness of governance policies on providing resilience. Methodologically, the study employing a quantitative method in a 5-point Likert scale survey utilizes a sound theoretical ground based on a combination of knowledge gained on sustainable tourism, disaster resiliency, and community-based adaptation. The research community obtained 368 responses in four stakeholder groups that included tourism businesses, government officials, academic researchers, and local community organizations in communities directly or indirectly affected by Typhoon Yagi. The findings indicate that the climate catastrophes have greatly impacted the tourism industry in terms of infrastructure, daily activities, and the livelihoods of the locals. The events have, however, also unleashed adaptive actions both at the policy and community levels. The research concludes that high local adaptation capacity is necessary in maintaining tourism, and proactive and well-coordinated government policies would mitigate the ill impacts of calamities. Based on a contrast, in the case of fragmented or top-down government support, a rather slower and less effective recovery is observed. The research provides a theoretical linkage between disaster research and sustainable tourism views. It is practical in the sense that it offers local knowledge of how communities and institutions can be engaged to adapt to climate change. It highlights the need for coordination at various levels, community empowerment, and regular policy promotion. All in all, the research sheds light on the present situation of Vietnam as a country lying somewhere between excessive vulnerability and being resilient to the threats of climate change, as it gives potential lessons to other developing nations with the same vulnerabilities in the aspect of tourism.</p>
