Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Kon Tum province Bach Thi Man said that in the first 6 months of this year, the total number of tourists to the area is estimated at 1.565 million, with revenue reaching about 427 billion VND.
On July 8, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Kon Tum province organized a discussion program to discuss solutions to stimulate domestic tourism in the locality.
This is an activity to celebrate the 64th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam Tourism Industry (July 9, 1960 - July 9, 2024).
At the program, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Kon Tum province Bach Thi Man said that in recent years, tourism promotion and advertising activities have been gradually diversified, with various types of tourism publications. The application of information technology in tourism propaganda, advertising and promotion has been increasingly promoted, meeting the information needs of tourists, businesses and investors.
Kon Tum is a locality with over 55% ethnic minorities. The provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has actively implemented models in the field of community tourism to improve the effectiveness of management and promote the preservation of heritage and good cultural values of ethnic communities in the area associated with sustainable tourism development. To date, the province has 13 tourist attractions and 1 provincial-level tourist area.
In the first 6 months of this year, the total number of tourists to the area is estimated at 1.565 million, with revenue reaching about 427 billion VND.
At the program, delegates, investors and businesses actively discussed and made many recommendations, proposals and suggestions to stimulate demand and attract tourists to Kon Tum province in the coming time.
Ms. Vo Thi Bich Thao, Deputy Director of Hai Van Kon Tum International Tourism Company, said that Bo Y International Border Gate in Po Y Commune, Ngoc Hoi District, Kon Tum Province, is a famous place visited by many tourists from inside and outside the province. However, in the process of building a tourist route here, the unit encountered difficulties due to the long waiting time for tourists to complete procedures to cross into Laos. This is considered a bad experience for tourists because they have to wait.
The representative of E Ban Farm Mang Den shared that in the process of investing and building tourist attractions in Kon Plong district, the unit encountered many difficulties, including many difficult-to-implement mechanisms and legal issues. Training and using local ethnic minority labor is very risky because of limited expertise and discipline, which can easily give tourists an undesirable experience.
Acknowledging the opinions and contributions of the units, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Kon Tum province Bach Thi Man affirmed that in the coming time, the Department will continue to strictly manage and speed up the progress of planning and implementing the proposed important tourist areas, ensuring quality and compliance with the planning.
The planned tourist areas and destinations need to be reviewed, adjusted, supplemented, and ensured to be suitable to the actual situation. The Department focuses on effectively implementing programs of association and cooperation in tourism development with localities and some provinces and cities in the country that are strongly developing tourism; organizing the connection of tours and tourist markets in the direction of focusing on exploiting domestic tourists, gradually promoting the exploitation of international tourist markets in the ASEAN region, through the Bo Y international border gate and tourist markets in Europe, Northeast Asia, and the Americas.
The unit focuses on cooperation and association with universities, colleges and enterprises to train local tourism human resources; prioritizes the development of local human resources, training necessary skills for people to participate in community tourism, aiming to build Kon Tum province as an attractive destination in the eyes of tourists./.
