Abstract

The study was conducted to assess visitor satisfaction with tourism business activities at Cai Rang Floating Market, Can Tho City. Data were collected through structured questionnaire interviews with 203 tourists. The criteria for assessing satisfaction were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, and variance analysis. The results revealed three main groups of factors influencing tourist satisfaction: attractiveness, service quality, and the environmental condition of the destination. Notably, the level of satisfaction after the experience positively influenced tourists' intention to return and recommend the destination. Furthermore, the analysis showed no statistically significant differences in satisfaction levels across different demographic groups. Based on the findings, several practical solutions are proposed to enhance tourists’ satisfaction and support the sustainable development of tourism at Cai Rang Floating Market.

Keywords: Cai Rang floating market, tourism, tourism service quality, tourism in Can Tho city, satisfaction
