Dak Lak is home to 49 ethnic groups, 41 accredited relics and the gong culture – a UNESCO world cultural heritage. It also houses 228 lodging facilities and a convenient transport system.
Phung Xuan Khanh, director of the Hanoi-based Tien Phong travel company, recommended Dak Lak to pay more attention to improving the quality of its tourism products.
Nguyen Quoc Long, director of the Unitour Hanoi, said people from the capital are interested in the Central Highlands culture when visiting Dak Lak, hence a need for the province to develop products imbued with cultural identity. Such development requires coordination from related managing agencies, associations, and businesses, he added.
