With the rapid development of technologies and devices, e-commerce has become very useful in nowaday life, and many enterprises in Khanh Hoa Province are aiming it.

Benefits from e-commerce

Accessing agoda.com, a famous booking website, we can see nearly 250 hotels in Khanh Hoa, whose rooms are on sale here. They present all information about them, including room number, room prices and room quality. Travelers can book rooms and do payment on the website without contacting the hotel directly. This way has become familiar with many travelers now. Huu Linh, a tourist from Hanoi, shared, “I often buy rooms online when traveling. It’s convenient, and room prices are cheaper.”

Pham Minh Duc Chanh, deputy director of Luxury Hotel in Nha Trang, said, “Our hotel has our own website and also has joined agoda.com. Selling rooms online can save us advertisement cost and approach clients promptly.”

Beside hotels, e-commerce also is supporting many other enterprises effectively owning to its advantages like no geographical limitations, lower costs, all-the-time sale and so on.

Tran Chien, director of Anh Viet Co., Ltd., majoring in sports net, revealed that thanks to its website, his company has received a lot of orders from other distant provinces like Binh Thuan, Lang Son, Lao Cai, etc. and even from foreign countries. Online orders make up 60% of the annual sale of the company.

Developing e-commerce in enterprises

Currently, the plan for the National Program for E-commerce Development for the 2014 – 2020 period ratified at Decision No. 689/QD-TTg by the Government has included the specific road and target. It especially aims to build up a nationwide system of e-commerce and promote card payment to raise transactions between businesses and consumers.

According to Nguyen Ky Minh, director of the E-commerce Development Center under the E-commerce and Information Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the authorities are actively propagandizing methods to develop e-commerce, disseminating related laws and raise awareness of e-commerce for enterprises and the people. More supervision and inspection will be made to prevent negativities in e-commerce.

Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Industry and Trade also has coordinated with the E-commerce and Information Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade to propagandize as well as support in making websites for some enterprises with typical local products, and encourage enterprises to introduce their products on the website www.vncharm.com.
