The Science and Technology Council of Khanh Hoa Province has checked and taken over a research project themed “Improving competence of sea islands tourism in Khanh Hoa Province”, which helps the province recognize the current position of sea island tourism in Khanh Hoa, and then have better development tendency in the future.
The project was carried out by PhD Nguyen Van Hung, from Danang Institute for Social-Economic Development and his cowokers. According to the research, Khanh Hoa has a lot of potentials and advantages in natural resources to develop sea and island tourism. However, in reality the province has still promoted all the potentials.
Over 2 years, the project manager has made deep research and built a criterion set to assess competence of Khanh Hoa sea – island tourism. The project makes detail analysis of the scale as well as the market of tourists, destinations and tourist products, main services of the province’s sea – island tourism, contributions of tourism in GRPD (Gross Regional Domestic Product), and contributions of the province’s sea – island tourism in development and job creation. Besides, the project analyses competence of Khanh Hoa sea – island tourism, including conditions in supply and demand, related industries, strategies of the local tourism as well as related policies, etc.

However, the project also has some mistakes which are required to be corrected.
