This paper aims to analyze the current status of community-based tourism development in Con Son, Can Tho city by the methods of document research, field surveys and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that Con Son has significantly tourism potentials to attract tourists such as seasonal lush fruit gardens, many folk cakes, Southern folk dishes, raft fishing village and many other unique experience activities. Nonetheless, there are still some difficulties in the process of developing community-based tourism in Con Son such as insufficient human resources, limited infrastructure and technical materials for tourism, overlapping tourism products, lack of concern about environmental protection, local people's income from tourism activities is insignificant, and weakness in tourism promotion. In order to effectively develop community-based tourism, local government should have comprehensive policies to overcome the above limitations.
