Khanh Hoa – The south central coastal
province of Khanh Hoa aims to receive 5 million tourists in 2021, including 1.5
million foreigners, and earn 17.5 trillion VND (760.45 million USD) from
tourism, heard a meeting held by the provincial People’s Committee with
representatives of more than 150 travel firms on March 10.

According to provincial leaders, Khanh Hoa will focus on
exploiting the domestic and foreign markets, targeting foreign labourers,
experts and diplomats residing in Vietnam.

The locality will increase communications on a “safe Vietnam,”
thus introducing the safe and friendly destination of Khanh Hoa.

Alongside, the locality will design tourism stimulus programmes and organise tourism promotion events in some countries such as
Russia, the Republic of Korea and China, and optimise the direct air routes to the Cam Ranh International Airport when COVID-19 is basically brought under control in the
world.

Addressing the event, Pham Minh Nhut, Vice President of the
Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Tourism Association, travel firms should coordinate with accommodation
facilities, tourism sites as well as transport firms to maintain and
recover tourism product supply chains.

Meanwhile, Doan Hai Quan, Director of the Nha Trang branch
of Vietravel, said that along with the formed connections with a number of
localities such as Lam Dong and Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa should expand tourism
linkages with localities in the south central coastal, southwestern and Central Highlands
regions, thus diversifying tourism products to lure more visitors.

Nguyen Thu Phuong, Sales Director of Vinpearl, said that the
firm has prepared for the launching of a new tourism product in Hon Tre island,
aiming to attract foreign tourists to Khanh Hoa.

At the meeting, Le Huu Hoang, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee, lauded efforts made by tourism firms amid difficulties in 2020
due to impacts of COVID-19.

He asked local relevant agencies and travel firms to
continue implementing COVID-19 prevention and control measures during their
operations.

On the occasion, the Khanh Hoa People’s Committee signed a
cooperation agreement with Vietnam Airlines in the 2021-2025 period.

Last year, due to impacts of COVID-19, Khanh Hoa received only 1.4 million visitors, or 19 percent of its target,
including 430,000 foreigners, a drop of 88 percent over the previous year./.

Lam Dong – A tourism golden week
will be held in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, home to famous
resort city Da Lat, from April 27 to May 3.

The provincial People’s Committee said on March 22
that it approved in principle the organisation plan by the Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The event, the second of its kind, will take place
in all the 12 cities and districts in the province, featuring special programmes,
according to the department.

The theme of “Tourism of experience, culture and
cuisines” is picked up for Da Lat and Lac Duong, Lam Ha, Duc Trong and Don
Duong districts, with 14 programmes, including an opening ceremony, an
international music festival, exhibitions and art performances.

Community tourism will be promoted in Bao Loc city
and Bao Lam, Di Linh and Dam Rong districts during the week through a folk
dance festival, hot mineral bath services and a cycling tournament.

Other districts – Da Hoai, Da Ter and Cat Tien –
will host a paragliding tournament, folk games, cycling tournaments and other
sport activities.

Situated on a plateau around 1,500 metres above sea
level, Da Lat enjoys year-round cool weather that is in contrast to Vietnam’s
tropical climate.

As one of Vietnam’s biggest flower-growing regions,
producing around 3 billion flower cuts every year, the city is a must-visit
destination for flower lovers around the world.

Last year, the city welcomed about 7 million
visitors, including about 140,000 foreign visitors./.

Promoting tourism linkages in the Red River Delta region

As the historical-cultural cradle of Vietnam, the Red River Delta boasts a range of important scenic spots and growing potential, requiring greater inter-regional cooperation to reach sustainable development goals.

As one of four key tourist regions in the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh province has been exerting efforts to participate in and promote links with other localities to develop specific tourism products.

The region is home to over 23,000 historical and cultural relics, including 49 special national relics, 3 world cultural heritages, and hundreds of traditional festivals. This is a prerequisite for building attractive products and prolonging stays and tourist spending.

Each city and province is to pay attention to identifying core values and other value systems the region possesses or has created for development. It is also necessary to adopt solutions to fully exploit inter-regional tours.

The successful establishment of regional links between Red River Delta provinces will help effectively exploit the strengths of each locality. At the same time, it will improve the competitive advantage of the entire region and introduce attractive tourism products./.
