Phan Thiet - Potential to become the most-wanted tourist attraction

With its pristine natural landscapes and crystal-clear beaches, Phan Thiet has the opportunity to take advantage of its tourist attractions all year round.

Mui Ne-Phan Thiet is on its way to become one of the most attractive destinations in Vietnam. With its pristine natural landscapes and crystal-clear beaches, this area has the opportunity to take advantage of its tourist attractions all year round.

The tourism aspect of the city has also experienced changes day by day since the Government approved the plan to turn Mui Ne Phan Thiet into a leading Asia-Pacific tourist destination. Statistics from 2015-2018 showed that the tourist growth index of Phan Thiet-Mui Ne city is always at double digits.

In 2018, there were about 5.7 million visitors to Phan Thiet, equivalent to Nha Trang and Da Nang and nearly 1.5 times that of Phu Quoc. This place is blessed with a pristine and undisturbed beachfront that stretches to an impressive length of nearly 300 kilometers.

The tropical climate with mostly sunny days and barely any stormy weather allows visitors to enjoy a leisure holiday in Mui Ne all year round. In addition to famous tourist destinations such as: Bau Trang, Van Thuy Tu temple (Sacred Whale Temple), Truong Duc Thanh (Duc Thanh School), Lau Ong Hoang (Prince’s Castle)… Phan Thiet also possesses many unique Champa cultural relics./.
