Brussels (VNA) – The central province of Quang Binh trumpeted its natural beauty and investment potential at an event in the Belgian capital of Brussels on June 14, which attracted many local tourism agencies, potential investors and travel fans.

The highlight of the event, co-organised by Quang Binh’s Tourism Department, the Vietnamese Embassy in Belgium and the Flemish government agency Visit Flanders, was a seminar on the Vietnamese province’s advantages and opportunities in tourism development.

Ambassador Nguyen Van Thao spotlighted the unique natural heritage and culture of Quang Binh, along with an open investment environment and incentives.

Quang Binh, dubbed the Kingdom of Caves, wants to seek cooperation to develop tourism, said Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Tran Thang. He added that the province also prioritises renewable energy and high technology industries.

Videos, photos and virtual tours were available at the event to give visitors a look into the destinations in the province.

Piet Steel, a representative of Visit Flanders and Han-sur-Lesse who used to serve as Belgian ambassador to Vietnam, presented his view on Vietnam tourism in general and the great potential of Quang Binh in particular. He said he was impressed by the province’s efforts to conserve nature and develop responsible tourism./.

Multi-channel capital mobilisation needed to achieve double-digit growth

The Ministry of Finance estimates development investment for 2026-2030 at a minimum of 38.5 quadrillion VND (1.48 trillion USD), or about 40% of GDP. The state budget is expected to provide only about 20%, or more than 7.7 quadrillion VND, leaving over 80%, or more than 30 quadrillion VND, to be raised from the broader economy. That makes expanding capital mobilisation channels beyond bank credit essential.
