Abstract: Abstract This paper analyzes the influence of tourism festivals on socioeconomic development. At the same time, the assessment is like a tool for the socioeconomic development of the people of Dong Hoi city. This study is guided by social development theory; using a regression model, the data is surveyed through 253 questionnaires of people living in Dong Hoi city, tourists, and some opinions of experts. The results show that festival tourism has a positive impact on community cohesion, social benefits, and economic benefits. Moreover, festivals tourism brings negative impacts on the socioeconomic development of this region.
