2007 is a year of Binh Dinh tourism. The management, infrastructure, and business activities of tourist agencies reaped desired results, creating more new features for Binh Dinh tourism.
1. An important driving force is the concern of Binh Dinh Province People's Committee for the tourism. The tourism management and promotion have been, therefore, furthered. The human resource training for tourism and plans to develop tourist sites have been strengthened.
The upgrade of infrastructure such as Quang Trung Museum or Champa towers also contributed to the development of Binh Dinh tourism in 2007.
The tourism development action plan for the 2006-2010 period was effectively conducted, making the tourism become one of the key industries in Binh Dinh.
2. 2007 also saw the ever-increasing of hotels like Hoang Anh resort, Seagull hotel, and Sai Gon-Quy Nhon hotel. The effective management and promotion made the business prosper.
Particularly, Seagull hotel was upgraded with a new building. Also, its travel agency held many tours for visitors to Binh Dinh.
Travel agencies had a bustling year. Many new tours were opened not only in Binh Dinh but in neighbor provinces. The turnover is estimated to reach over VND12 billion, a surge of 60% over 2006.
Also, many tourists, including nearly 1,000 foreign ones, came to Binh Dinh by sea.
3. It can be said that Binh Dinh tourism is stepping forward. There are, however, some limitations slowing down the progress. The promotion hasn't been paid much attention, which decreased the number of foreign tourists to Binh Dinh.
The qualification of the human resource for tourism couldn’t fulfill requirements and many potential tourist sites weren't effectively explored. One more thing was that the environmental issues badly affected the tourism.
