At the Seminar, Mr. Nguyen Minh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province, said that traffic infrastructure is one of the important factors for Binh Thuan tourism to take off. Immediately after the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet and Phan Thiet - Dau Giay expressways came into operation, the number of tourists coming to Phan Thiet increased. This is also the basis for Binh Thuan province to set a target of welcoming 9.5 million visitors in 2024. According to Mr. Minh, Binh Thuan province is currently promoting investment in traffic infrastructure projects to synchronize and further connect the province's existing traffic system. Creating convenience for tourists in traveling to key tourist destinations in the province. In particular, the locality is urgently speeding up the implementation of the Phan Thiet Airport project.

Along with the transport infrastructure, the locality has been working with businesses and investors to synchronously implement solutions to attract tourists, bringing Binh Thuan tourism to its full potential.

Mr. Bui The Nhan, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Binh Thuan province, said that Binh Thuan tourism is known for its strengths in the sea and outstanding advantages such as sunshine, wind, sand dunes, beautiful beaches, favorable weather... Currently, the province has focused on developing types of sea resort tourism, sea sports tourism, sand sports tourism, golf... This type of resort tourism is currently highly competitive compared to coastal provinces and cities in the country, strongly attracting domestic visitors on holidays, weekends; sea and sand sports tourism... has attracted and extended the length of stay and spending of international visitors when coming to Binh Thuan.   In order for Binh Thuan tourism to develop further, worthy of its position, with a target of 9.5 million visitors in 2024, it is necessary not only to exploit existing potential but also to focus on developing entertainment, recreation and culinary complexes to attract tourists. In addition, tourism units also need to strengthen trade connections, cooperation between local businesses and build extensive communication strategies to make Phan Thiet in particular and Binh Thuan in general become the leading destination in the region not only for domestic tourists but also for international tourists. "The participation of large investors will help local tourism have more projects, products, services...", Mr. Nhan said. The Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism expressed his hope that after this discussion, the Binh Thuan Tourism Association and Nova Service will have many specific and practical activities to bring many attractive products and services to tourists coming to Phan Thiet - Binh Thuan with the goal of reaching 9.5 million visitors this year, further increasing the number of visitors in the following years. Striving to make Phan Thiet - Binh Thuan one of the top destinations in the eyes of domestic and international tourists. Mr. Phan Nguyen Hoang Tan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phan Thiet City, assessed that the current traffic system connecting to Phan Thiet is quite complete. Phan Thiet City is investing in building a coastal road through Phan Thiet City, this is extremely important to help Phan Thiet City develop its socio-economy, urban embellishment, etc. At the end of 2023, Binh Thuan province approved the Project on developing the night-time economy in Binh Thuan province until 2030, with the goal of promoting the strong development of the service and tourism industries, truly becoming the province's spearhead economic sector. Since the beginning of the year, relevant units have implemented a pilot project to develop service models and products to serve the development of the night-time economy in Phan Thiet city. Natural advantages are opportunities for tourism As a coastal province in the extreme South Central Coast, Binh Thuan is a gateway for economic, cultural and social exchanges with localities in the Southeast region, the South Central Coast and the Central Highlands provinces. Binh Thuan is also the intersection connecting with major tourist centers in the southern region such as Nha Trang, Da Lat, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria-Vung Tau... In particular, nature has bestowed Binh Thuan with 192 km of coastline with many beautiful beaches, poetic landscapes, a clean environment along with national historical and cultural relics and many unique traditional cultural festivals. This is a great potential for Binh Thuan to develop its socio-economy in general and the tourism industry in particular. Not only that, Binh Thuan also possesses extremely diverse and rich natural resources such as: many islands, islets, lagoons, bays and beaches with beautiful landscapes: Cu Lao Cau, Binh Thanh (Tuy Phong district), Doi Duong - Thuong Chanh, Mui Ne - Hon Rom (Phan Thiet city), Mui Dien Ke Ga (Ham Thuan Nam), Cam Binh, Nganh Tam Tan (Ham Tan)... Landscapes that attract many tourists such as Cat Bay Hill, Hon Rom, Suoi Tien, Ong Dia Stone, Ong Hoang Tower (Phan Thiet)... In addition, there are many beautiful and attractive tourist attractions in the localities but have not been exploited such as Dong Mang dam, Dong Moi dam, Ca Giay lake, Picsin lake (Bac Binh), Song Long Song lake, Yavly waterfall, Vinh Hao mineral spring (Tuy Phong), 9-storey waterfall, Suong Mu waterfall, Da Mi lake, Ham Thuan - Da Mi lake (Ham Thuan Bac). Ecotourism in Ta Cu Mountain Nature Reserve, Mui Dien Ke Ga, Bung Thi hot spring (Ham Thuan Nam), Doi Duong, Hon Ba (La Gi)... Ba waterfall, Bien Lac lake (Tanh Linh), Reo waterfall, Tra Tan lake - Mai waterfall area, Da Kai (Duc Linh)... Besides, Binh Thuan has historical - cultural relics of ancient architecture such as Xuan An communal house, Xuan Hoi communal house (Cho Lau - Bac Binh), Duc Thang communal house (Duc Thang - Phan Thiet), Duc Nghia communal house (Duc Nghia - Phan Thiet), Ong Nam Hai tomb... However, on the sidelines of the Discussion, many opinions from tourism businesses said that the current tourism industry of Binh Thuan province has not developed commensurate with its potential. Tourism products are not rich and diverse; the number of days of stay of tourists is still short. The ability to connect and link regions in tourism development is still limited. The work of propagating and promoting the potential and image of Binh Thuan tourism has not been properly invested, and has not really become a key economic sector. Currently, Binh Thuan is lacking tourist areas that meet the needs of tourism and entertainment. At the seminar, many tourism businesses had positive information in attracting tourists. Specifically, the representative of the NovaWorld Phan Thiet Sea Tourism and Entertainment Economic Urban Area said that the business expects to welcome 5 million visitors in 2024, contributing significantly to the target of 9 million visitors of the Binh Thuan tourism industry, continuing to affirm its position as the leading attractive destination in Southern Vietnam. Welcoming the peak summer tourism season, taking place throughout 90 days from June 1 to September 2, 2024, the Summer Fest NovaWorld Phan Thiet event series with a series of entertainment activities, large-scale music and sports festivals along with many attractive summer promotion programs. Sharing in the Seminar, the business representative said that currently, NovaWorld Phan Thiet welcomes tens of thousands of visitors every day to visit, stay, and experience services. The system of hotels, resorts, and villas always achieves a high occupancy rate, welcoming an average of nearly 20,000 visitors every day. In addition to individual guests, NovaWorld Phan Thiet has become a "must-go" destination that travel companies have included in the itinerary for visitors to Phan Thiet - Binh Thuan. At the Seminar, Binh Thuan Tourism Association and Nova Service Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Specifically, both sides expect to promote each other's strengths, joining hands to bring Phan Thiet - Binh Thuan tourism to new heights. Binh Thuan Tourism Association will coordinate with units operating in the field of tourism and services to exploit products and services at NovaWorld Phan Thiet to bring visitors new and attractive experiences. On the part of Nova Service Group, the company is committed to always striving to improve the quality, products and services so that NovaWorld Phan Thiet becomes a must-go destination for domestic and international tourists. Hopefully, with the joint efforts of local authorities, connections between businesses, associations, organizations and personnel operating in the tourism and service industry, it will contribute to the development of Phan Thiet - Binh Thuan tourism, becoming a leading destination in the region.
