Among other things, the plan seeks to remove bottlenecks in brand promotion and tourism development, creating momentum for the tourism industry to make breakthroughs as a key economic sector.
It will focus in particular on building and promoting the province’s tourism products and brands.
In the plan’s first phase, surveys and research will be carried out on establishing a provincial tourism brand and developing tourism products. The studies will evaluate the province’s tourism potential and core values, the current status of tourism development and brand tourism. They will also assess the impact of socio-economic contexts, market and competitors on tourism brands.

The new 10-year master plan on building and promoting the province’s tourism brand aims to highlight its distinctions, take the sector to new levels and reach further into the international tourism market. International tourists in particular will increasingly know Ba Ria-Vung Tau as an attractive, friendly, must-visit tourist destination in Southeast Asia.
