DNHN - The tourism industry in Vietnam is growing rapidly and has become a major driving force for the country’s economic development. Coastal areas have become attractive destinations for tourists, contributing significantly to boosting economic growth.
According to statistics, tourism revenue in 28 coastal provinces and cities in Vietnam increased from 21.9 trillion VND in 2015 to 32.9 trillion VND in 2019, accounting for 71.8% and 74.4% of the country’s total tourism revenue, respectively. The localities with the highest tourism revenue are Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City, Quang Ninh Province, Khanh Hoa Province and Quang Nam Province.
One of the key factors that make coastal tourism attractive to visitors is the stunning natural scenery. Vietnam has thousands of kilometres of beautiful coastline, with white sand, clear blue waters and majestic islands. Famous beaches such as Ha Long, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc and Da Nang have attracted millions of tourists from all over the world. This generates a large source of income for localities, from providing accommodation and food services to entertainment and shopping activities.
Moreover, coastal tourism also creates many job opportunities for local communities. As tourism develops, the demand for human resources in the tourism industry increases. This creates job opportunities for local people, helping to improve their living standards and reduce unemployment rates. In addition, tourism activities also promote the development of related economic sectors such as services, transportation, trade and agriculture. The development of tourism contributes to creating a strategic source of income for localities, contributing to sustainable economic development and diversifying sources of income.
In addition to the economic benefits, coastal tourism also has a positive impact on cultural development and environmental conservation. Attracting tourists to coastal areas creates conditions for the dissemination and exchange of culture between ethnic groups and nations. At the same time, sustainable tourism also prioritises environmental protection. Sustainable tourism development requires the protection and conservation of natural resources, from white sand, and mangrove forests to coral reefs and marine life. This ensures that future generations can also enjoy and explore the beauty of the coastal areas.
However, the development of coastal tourism also poses some challenges. For tourism to make a significant contribution to the economic development of coastal localities, effective and sustainable management is needed. The development of tourism infrastructure, development planning and environmental management must be carried out carefully to ensure that tourism brings long-term benefits and does not harm the environment and local communities. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that human resources in the tourism industry are professionally trained and meet the needs of tourists.
To exploit and develop coastal tourism sustainably, the Government needs to have policies to support and encourage investment in the tourism industry. Localities also need to cooperate with each other and with businesses to develop diverse and attractive tourism products. At the same time, the promotion and marketing of tourist destinations is also very important to attract domestic and foreign tourists.
In summary, coastal tourism is playing an important role in the economic development of localities in Vietnam. The combination of beautiful natural scenery, job opportunities and sustainable development is creating a strong and attractive tourism industry. However, for coastal tourism to develop sustainably, effective management and supportive policies from the government are needed, along with cooperation between localities and businesses. Only then can Vietnam’s coastal tourism continue to contribute to the country’s economic development and environmental conservation.
