Khanh Hoa has many advantages to restore tourism

Khanh Hoa Province People's Committee has organized the program Connecting businesses - Stimulating domestic travel in Hanoi, attracting the participation of many tourism businesses. 

Khanh Hoa Province People's Committee has organized the program Connecting businesses - Stimulating domestic travel in Hanoi, attracting the participation of many tourism businesses. Talking with reporter of Khanh Hoa newspaper on the sidelines of the conference, Mr. Ngo Hoai Chung - Deputy Director of the National Tourism Administration (the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) said:

 

- The success of controlling the Covid-19 epidemic has created favorable conditions for Vietnam to recover tourism activities. Currently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has launched a program to stimulate domestic tourism "Vietnamese people travel in Vietnam". Implementing this program, recently, the National Tourism Administration and localities have focused on introducing Vietnam as a safe destination, encouraging people to travel in the country to recover the tourism industry soon. Currently, big tourist destinations (including Khanh Hoa) are coming back, ensuring safety for visitors and bringing customers unique and attractive tourism products.

 

In order to speed up tourism recovery, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism has proposed tourism, aviation and transportation businesses to offer promotion and discount packages to stimulate tourism across the country. Along with discounts, we ask to ensure the quality of travel services, build products that match the tastes and new trends of travellers  after the Covid-19 epidemic so that visitors can enjoy their trips, thereby improving the attractiveness of Vietnam tourism. We hope that the tourism stimulus program "Vietnamese people travel in Vietnam" is a support to revive the tourism industry, thereby spreading and affecting other economic sectors, contributing to restoring and promoting socio-economic development of the country.

- As you have come to Khanh Hoa to consider local tourism activities after the Covid-19 epidemic, how do you assess the recovery of tourism in Khanh Hoa?

 

- Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa is one of key tourist destinations in Vietnam and a famous destination in the world. With the available advantages as well as good prevention and fighting against Covid-19, Khanh Hoa has many advantages in restoring tourism after Covid-19, having a special position in the domestic tourism stimulus program "Vietnamese people travel in Vietnam".

 

We highly appreciate the programs that Khanh Hoa has to restart tourism after the Covid-19 epidemic such as Gala Dinner with the theme "Nha Trang beach calling" held in Nha Trang, the program connecting businesses - stimulating domestic tourism held in Hanoi ... However, because we have just launched, the number of domestic travellers as well as visitors to Khanh Hoa is still small. With marketing activities in big cities, the fame of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa will spread more widely. We believe that Khanh Hoa will be one of the leading localities in the stimulus program "Vietnamese people travel to Vietnam". The recovery of tourism in Khanh Hoa also partly stimulates tourism of the provinces of the South Central and the Highlands.

- In your opinion, what does Khanh Hoa tourism need to do to implement the tourism stimulus program  successfully after Covid-19?

 

Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa has many advantages, especially the attraction of sea and island tourism... However, after Covid-19, tourism is different than before. Tourism products as well as destination communications should have changes.

 

The current trend is travelling in families or small groups. Therefore, tourism in Khanh Hoa as well as other localities need build and develop tourism products and destinations suitable to new trends of tourists. We also need further communication of safe destinations to attract tourists. At the same time, tourism businesses in Khanh Hoa need to link to create attractive tourism stimulus packages, which must comply with the criteria of discounting but not reducing quality, adding more services to stimulate travellers.

 

In parallel with the restoration and development of tourism, we must keep preventing the Covid-19 epidemic. Therefore, the regulations and conditions on safety and prevention of the epidemic for tourists, workers and local people need to be implemented.

 

- Thank you Sir!
