Hanoi: The recently approved master planning scheme for Mui Ne National Tourist Area in south central Binh Thuan province is set to transform it into an internationally recognised tourism hub, positioning it as a top destination in the Asia-Pacific by 2050. The plan envisions developing Mui Ne into a global tourism centre, fueling economic growth and boosting the competitiveness of tourism in both Binh Thuan province and Vietnam. The area, spanning 14,760 ha, includes key locations in Phan Thiet city, Bac Binh district, and Tuy Phong district.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the comprehensive master plan outlines strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure, tourism services, and environmental sustainability within the Mui Ne National Tourist Area. By focusing on these areas, the plan seeks to attract international visitors and investors, thereby elevating the region’s status on the global tourism map. The scheme includes the development of new resorts, entertainment complexes, and cultural venues to cater to a diverse range of tourists.
Additionally, the plan highlights the importance of preserving the natural landscape and cultural heritage of Mui Ne, ensuring that tourism development does not come at the expense of the local environment and community. Local authorities and stakeholders are set to collaborate on projects that promote eco-friendly tourism practices and support local artisans and businesses.
The transformation of Mui Ne into a premier tourist destination is expected to create numerous jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region. This initiative aligns with Vietnam’s broader strategy to develop its tourism industry as a key economic sector, contributing significantly to national GDP.
