The Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism is considering the
approval of a project to organise an International Tourism Fair of Vietnam Sea
2013 in Nha Trang.
On approval, the event will take place at Diamond Bay tourist area from June 6
to 8, 2013 with a total expenditure of 15 billion VND. The fair is planned to
have 250 kiosks, 30 percent of which will be from foreign tourist promotion
organizations and foreign travel firms.
The organising board of the fair will arrange for travel agencies and the press
to survey tourist products of Khanh Hoa Province and some other coastal
localities. Specifically, the fair will organise a meeting between domestic and
foreign enterprises and hold a seminar on maritime tourism marketing.
According to the Institute for Tourism Development Research under the Vietnam
National Tourism Administration, Vietnam has huge potential to develop maritime
tourism, with more than 3,200 kilometers of coast and numerous beautiful seaside
resorts. The country possesses many well-known coastal destinations such as Non
Nuoc in Danang which was voted amongst the six most charming beaches in the
world, Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh Province – recently voted as one of the worlds
7 New Wonders, Nha Trang Bay in Khanh Hoa and Lang Co Bay in Thua Thien Hue –
two members of the world’s most beautiful maritime bays club.
Vietnam’s maritime tourism attracts nearly 70 percent of the total foreign
tourists to Vietnam and 50 percent of the total domestic tourists, contributing
70 percent to the national tourism revenue./.
