The tourism year is seen as a golden opportunity for the south central coastal
province of Khanh Hoa to promote its cultural heritage, natural resources and
tourism products, thus attracting more domestic and foreign tourists to the
locality.
The MCST urged Khanh Hoa to improve state management in tourism, create
favourable conditions for businesses to participate in the activities, ensure
political security and social order and safety and protect the
environment.
There will be three major events, including the opening ceremony scheduled for
late 2018, the Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa sea festival in May 2019 and the closing
ceremony in late 2019.
Highlights of the programme will be beauty pageants like Miss Universe Vietnam
and Miss Tourism ASEAN, along with the Hong Kong-Nha Trang Yatch Race.
Khanh Hoa, with a coast of more than 380 km and hundreds of islands and islets,
and a sunny year-long climate, has many advantages for tourism, especially
sea-island tourism.
Besides Nha Trang Bay, Khanh Hoa also boasts Cam Ranh and Van Phong bays, both
natural masterpieces.
Khanh Hoa’s tourism sector has experienced a breakthrough in recent years. The
number of tourists to the province has enjoyed average expansion of 15 percent
- 17 percent in recent years.
In 2017, 5.5 million domestic and international holiday-makers visited the
locality.
Khanh Hoa’s target of serving 6.5 million tourists in 2018 is expected to be
fulfilled as in early December, the province welcomed its 6 millionth visitor
of the year.
Next year, the locality aims to serve more than 7 million visitors, including
some 3 million foreigners.
