In the coming years, Khanh Hoa tourism industry will focus on checking and speeding up the progress of existing tourism projects; implementing signed tourism cooperation and survey agreements between Khanh Hoa and other provinces and cities.

Especially, there will be a tourist product promotion workshop of 7 central provinces and the International Sea Travel Expo Nha Trang – Vietnam 2013.

There are insufficient recreational destinations at night. What will be done about it?

Tourism products will be developed with sea food, traditional cuisine, night recreational areas, etc. Cultural and art activities will be added to tours. Investment incentives are available for these activities.

What are your comments on the local market of handicraft in particular and tourist products in general? How will tourist products be promoted?

This is one of the concern of the local tourism sector. Besides sight-seeing and relaxing, visitors are interested in shopping for gifts and souvenirs. There are not many kinds of products available for their choice. The Department of Culture, Sport & Tourism is conducting a research on handicraft tourism development.

Environmental protection is also concerned in this plan. What are the specific methods for keeping the image of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa as a safe and friendly destination?

Besides tourism security and safety, we also pay attention to the public education on tourism environment protection.

Visitors to Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa will be satisfied with unique tourism products as well as local people’s hospitality. Great effort has been made to promote the cultural value.

Thank you.
