In Vietnam, the urbanisation rate has reached nearly 40%, with over 860 urban areas. Many hold large potential for tourism development.
Vung Tau city, for example, is rich in advantages such as convenient traffic locations, seaports, a large oil and gas centre, a four-season climate, and beautiful beaches.
Phu Quoc, located on the southwest coast, is considered a centre of eco-tourism, and high-class beach resorts.
In recent years, experts have warned that coastal cities are at risk of sea level rise, and unusual natural disasters due to climate change.
Therefore, cities need strengthen measures to protect coastal lands, sea mouths, and estuaries.
Experts also suggested reviewing and adjusting the planning of existing sea tourism urban areas, especially for coastal spaces./.
