In 2022, the province welcomed 2.57 million tourists, raking in nearly 14 trillion VND (590.5 million USD) in tourism revenue.
This year, it targets 4 million tourists, including 1.5 million foreign visitors, and earning approximately 21 trillion VND, according to the province's Department of Tourism.
Toward the goals, the domestic tourist market still plays a key role, with significant attention paid to the expansion of traditional and potential international ones such as the Republic of Korea, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Kazakhstan, it said.
Khanh Hoa plans to launch a myriad of tourism communications and promotion activities to stimulate demand, and to host field trips from delegations of international and domestic travel companies. The province will also develop regional linkages, work with airlines to open more routes, and build a digital map of local tourism./.
