The city expects to welcome more visitors from Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City, along with Mekong Delta and Central Highland localities.

It is now home to 74 investment projects in tourism and services worth 8.042 million USD. Of the total, 17 are foreign-invested projects with a total capital of 1.45 million USD and the remaining 57 are domestically invested with a total sum of 6.592 million USD.
