Moreover, Khanh Vinh has a favorable geographical position, linking the two famous tourist cities of Nha Trang and Da Lat through the beautiful road named Khanh Le – Lam Dong. Local tours Nha Trang – Dien Khanh – Khanh Vinh and Van Ninh – Ninh Hoa – Khanh Vinh are local visitors’ popular tours.
Some tourist destinations under operation include Yang Bay Park - Ho Cho, An Tim (Khanh Phu Commune), Nhan Tam Mineral Hot Water Spring (Khanh Hiep Commune) and Ma Gia (Giang Ly Commune).
Yang Bay Park is the most visited place thanks to much investment by Khanh Viet Corporation. Most visitors are students and teachers going on a picnic.
Other places have not been fully invested to take good advantage of the natural strengths. Much more work needs to be done to showcase the destination as well as attract investment in tourism.
Khanh Vinh development strategy till 2015 and trend till 2020 include construction of infrastructures and facilities in the local travel and tourism industries.
If properly harnessed, Khanh Vinh will become a unique eco-tourism destination.
