To assert position
According to Provincial Party Secretary Duong Van An: “…in the long term, along with the process of building the provincial planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, Binh Thuan must recalculate and re-plan the tourism space in a more systematic way, avoiding fragmented, small-scale, and unclassy investment; exploiting more effectively the potential of the sea, natural landscapes, and cultural characteristics to enrich tourism types, promoting the development of tourism types that are attractive to tourists such as sea sports tourism, MICE tourism, health care tourism, nursing tourism, adventure tourism, agricultural tourism, ecological tourism…”. The advantage of Binh Thuan is that it is oriented by the Government as a key locality in the national tourism development plan, currently and in the future it is gradually becoming a key tourist area and Phan Thiet city has become a key tourist city, this is a great advantage for the development goals of Binh Thuan. It is clear to everyone that when the North-South expressway through Binh Thuan was officially opened to traffic, it greatly contributed to shortening travel time for international and domestic tourists from other provinces to Binh Thuan, creating a launching pad for Binh Thuan's tourism industry to take off. The latest data on tourists to Binh Thuan from the beginning of 2023 to now has reached more than 4.7 million (an increase of more than 86% over the same period last year), including about 135,000 international visitors mainly from Korea, UK, USA, China... (an increase of 5.41 times over the same period last year). Revenue from tourism activities is estimated at 11.3 trillion VND (an increase of about 70% over the same period in 2022)... with the great contribution of the expressway system connecting Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces to Binh Thuan. And in the future, when Phan Thiet airport is formed, the number of tourists coming to Binh Thuan may increase to an "unpredictable" level.
However, to affirm its position on the domestic and international tourism map, to meet the wishes of tourists when choosing Binh Thuan as the top choice when traveling, the province still needs to have more solutions in the process of developing Binh Thuan to a new level. Accordingly, the province "must recalculate and plan the tourism space in a more systematic way". Urgently complete the synchronous transportation system connecting the province. Functional sectors need to focus on environmental protection, especially waste management to minimize pollution for beaches and tourist attractions in the province. Strictly control and take measures to prevent and combat natural disasters, climate change, and erosion that is taking place on beautiful beaches, strengthen the protection of main beaches to maximize the image of green, clean, and beautiful tourism of the province and ensure safety for tourists. For tourism management agencies, it is necessary to focus on selecting activities and attractions to attract tourists, to create a truly unique tourism ecosystem that can compete with other destinations in the region. Focus on advertising and investment promotion to attract many tourism development projects, investors in new service products and better infrastructure. Build an effective financial strategy and call for investment in tourism from many different sources. Focus on recruitment, training and fostering to have high-quality human resources in parallel with developing high-quality services, providing specialized human resources for the tourism industry with the task of promoting the image of the homeland and people of Binh Thuan...
With its existing brand and natural advantages bestowed by nature, with a systematic and scientific development strategy... we hope that Binh Thuan will become the top choice of domestic and international tourists in the context of the current competitive global tourism industry.
