With the support of social networks, the trend of going, experiencing and sharing new destinations by young travelers suggests has suggested a lot of ideas for new tourist destinations and tours.
In 2016, a group of backpackers posted some beautiful photos of Diep Son (in Van Thanh Commune, Van Ninh District) on Facebook. Then a lot of travelers in the country, especially young people, have rushed into this desolate island hamlet. Before that, tourists had known some destinations like Mui Doi, Dao Dua, Binh Ba, Binh Hung, etc. by online travel forums.
Young people have recently found many strange places to have special experiences, like enjoying Nha Trang view from the peak of Co Tien mountain, hunting clouds on Phuong Hoang mountain, enjoying moonlight on Hon Do valley (by Cu Hin mountain pass), night camping in Hoang Nguu Son (Dong Bo mountain), discovering Hon Tre, etc. These places are not strange to local people, but when seeing their photos on Internet, many people are extremely surprised because they are too beautiful. They are attractive lures to travelers who like new places, staying away from crowded and busy places.
Thieu Van Sang, admin of a travel forum in Nha Trang, shared that, “I want to introduce the beauty of Khanh Hoa to travelers, especially the young. Beside the sea, Khanh Hoa has a lot of mountains, The province has potentials for hiking – trekking, but few companies exploits this field.”
In Nha Trang, there are some groups of backpacking travelers. They often discover new places and new roads, write reviews, and lead other travelers who have the same like. A lot of tourists from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Ha Noi, etc. have come to Nha Trang to experience the attractive places. It’s possible to say that the footsteps of travelers have contributed in increasing attraction of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa tourism.
According to Nguyen Van Thanh, Standing Vice-chairman of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association, finding new destinations and setting up new tours are also important in tourism development. In recent time, travel forum has introduced many new places for travel in Nha Trang. It suggests new tourist products for travel companies.
