Abstract
Recognized by UNESCO since 1993 as a world heritage, the province of Thừa Thiên Huế (Vietnam) is also known for handicraft villages. The cultural and identity values of the region are involved through artisanal products. The awareness of reviving handicrafts is a great challenge for the province in general and artisans in particular, because of the disappearance of these trades. Thus, the setting in tourism by creating jobs with the autochthones and by perpetuating these cultural heritages in these villages, unveils realities of the tourist mutations of several actors concerned. So this research focuses on highlighting the three key points. First, cultural and economic impacts directly and / or indirectly affect the indigenous community. Second, new jobs help improve the lives of local people. Lately, it concerns the difficulties encountered with regard to the sustainable development of community tourism in artisan craft villages.
