Linking to expand tourism market in North Central region

Linking tourism development is an extremely important and necessary strategy in the current context of international integration. Connecting tourism between provinces will create strong development opportunities for each locality, while enhancing the value of tourism products, creating a network of attractive and diverse destinations.

Specifically, this connection will help the provinces take advantage of each other's strengths in tourism development. Lam Dong currently has strengths in eco-tourism, resorts, agriculture, and adventure sports , while the provinces of the Central Highlands have extremely rich cultural, historical, sea, island, and community tourism products. The connection will help Lam Dong and the provinces of the Central Highlands create diverse tourism itineraries, attracting not only domestic but also international tourists.

Mr. Nguyen Nhat Vu - Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Tourism Association said: In recent years, the Tourism Association and the tourism service business community in Lam Dong have regularly organized promotion programs, connecting tourism businesses through fairs, tourism conferences, international events and activities on social networks. Along with that, many field trips have been organized between tourism businesses and state management units on tourism to exchange experiences in management, investment and development of tourism products. Thereby, creating unique products, suitable for modern tourism trends.

“The connection between tourism businesses, from travel agencies to accommodation, food, transportation service providers, etc., has created closely coordinated inter-route tours, serving tourists' needs in the best way,” Mr. Vu added.

Lam Dong's destinations such as Da Lat, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet... have truly become true brands, affirming their position in Vietnam's tourism industry and have the potential to develop strongly in the future.

On the other hand, the localities of the Central Highlands are also provinces with rich and diverse tourism potential. Hue City with its unique historical and cultural heritage. Quang Tri stands out with the World Natural Heritage Phong Nha - Ke Bang, pristine beaches and majestic historical sites of the country. Ha Tinh has eco-tourism areas such as Vu Quang National Park and beautiful beaches such as Thach Hai. Nghe An with the tourist complex of President Ho Chi Minh's hometown, Cua Lo beach...

According to Mr. Ha Van Sieu - Deputy Director of the National Tourism Administration: The cooperation in tourism development between Lam Dong and the provinces in the Central Highlands region demonstrates the strong determination of the localities in promoting tourism development - one of the key economic sectors of Vietnam. This not only helps to maximize the exploitation of local resources but also contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnamese tourism in the international market.
