The study aims to identify factors influencing the parents’ decision in Ho Chi Minh City to send their children to study abroad. The study used the exploratory factor analysis method to examine and estimate regression coefficients on sample 243 observations from parents whose children study abroad. Research has identified 6 factors affecting the decision to send a child to study abroad. The paper shows that the parents’ decisions to let their children study abroad are not only based on the parents’ desire but also on the students’ desire. In addition, factors such as the family’s financial capacity, training programs, career prospects, and self-reliance also affect the parents’ decisions to send their children to study abroad. Interestingly, the study found that factors of self-reliance have negative impacts on parents’ decisions to send their children to study abroad. When they realized that their child may have good self-reliance, great success would be obtained regardless of study location. As a result, motivation for the overseas study was no longer found by them. Since then, domestic training programs need to increase opportunities to practice English, the opportunity to practice independence and flexibility in training programs will limit your children to study abroad.

The promotion of tourism by the government and the creation of local tourist attractions are becoming extremely popular. This has direct negative impacts on the environment, especially the existence of a significant quantity of garbage and its ineffective management. The upstream areas that experience considerable tourism often face problems in solid waste management (SWM), especially in areas with management limitations. The purpose of this study is to study the various important factors that affect the efficiency of SWM from tourism in the upstream areas by exploring the attitudes of those involved in the Pai district, Mae Hong Son Province, using the questionnaire. The questionnaire has been analysed by statistical methods using the SPSS program, and, then, the data has been analysed by 16 experts from 8 related fields using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to prioritise the factors affecting the efficiency of waste management from tourism in upstream areas. The study indicated that a total of 30 factors were grouped into 5 groups. The highest important factor is personnel and knowledge, followed by budget and equipment, area and strategy, cooperation and process, and economy and society. Executive vision is the most important secondary factor towards SWM resulting from tourism in the upstream areas. The summary of this research can be used to effectively drive spatial work, which is suitable for small cities located in upstream areas, and growth in tourism, and such information can be applied to other areas that have similar characteristics, which will lead to efficient spatial SWM.
