Da Nang leads in the report "Vietnam Provincial Tourism Development Index VTDI 2024"

After implementing the 2024 Action Plan, the Private Economic Development Research Board and the Prime Minister's Advisory Council for Administrative Procedure Reform (TTHC) have developed the Report "Vietnam Provincial Tourism Development Index VTDI 2024" to send to the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities for research and reference in the process of building local tourism development strategies, serving the task of comprehensive, rapid and sustainable tourism development under the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister.

The VTDI 2024 report presents the rankings of 30 provinces and cities based on their respective scores. The index aims to encourage provinces and cities to make greater efforts to create a more favorable environment for the tourism industry and improve local tourism development programs.

The VTDI 2024 Index is made up of 17 pillars and 111 indicators collected from the Tourism Enterprise Survey and other quantitative data sources. All indicators are standardized on a scale of 1 to 7. This scoring method allows the use of scores and rankings to evaluate the VTDI of provinces. The assessment is based on 5 equally weighted index groups. Each index group consists of pillars and measurable indicators for assessment. Each pillar is assessed with a score. The average score of the pillars with the same weight is then the basis for evaluating the index groups.

The process of selecting provinces and cities to participate in the VTDI (Vietnam Provincial Tourism Development Index) 2024 is based on a combination of factors that have been studied in the VTCI (Vietnam Tourism Competitiveness Index) 2019 and 2021. The goal is to ensure that all 30 provinces and cities meet certain basic standards.

The pillars and indicators of VTDI have been adjusted to match the idea of ​​the Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI) of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The index has been carefully developed, explained in capacity building discussions and will be handed over to stakeholders for future use.
