For Exploiting Types of Tourism

119


However, when exploiting Tu Nham - Vinh Hoa beach, it is necessary to pay attention to the strong rip current, which is dangerous for swimming. Therefore, there should be forms to warn tourists when swimming. The dangerous area is the south of Vinh Hoa beach and Tu Nham beach.

3) Hon Yen archipelago

Hon Yen complex has the advantage of easy access, beautiful and typical coral ecosystem, high tourism connectivity, the unique point is that there is a road connecting Hon Yen island when the tide is low (on September 6th and 21st-24th of the lunar calendar, from March to September of the lunar calendar). This place is very suitable for sightseeing, experiencing the road connecting the island and eco-tourism of diving to see coral. These strengths have created the competitive advantage of Hon Yen. However, the current environmental problem here is not clean and the tourism space is not airy.

It is necessary to develop community tourism, so that local people can participate in tourism activities with tourists. Because, the people living here are the ones who understand the natural characteristics of this place best, they will give tourists the best experiences in diving to see coral, experience the road connecting the island to catch seafood or experience enjoying seafood.

4) Vinh Xuan Dai Bay

Xuan Dai Bay is a beautiful bay with large capacity, high tourism connectivity and has been planned as a national tourist area. In the bay, there are many scenic spots such as: small islands, lagoons, beaches and many typical seafood (lobster, seahorse). Therefore, this is a very favorable location to develop into a high-class tourist area with a variety of tourist attractions.

However, to develop sustainable tourism here, it is necessary to pay close attention to environmental protection (the assessment results show that the environmental sustainability in Xuan Dai Bay only reaches 3/5, average); especially in the Song Cau beach area, the water environment has been heavily polluted. To ensure the environment, it is necessary to re-plan the shrimp farming area in the bay and to have an environmental impact assessment in the shrimp farming planning so as not to affect tourism development.

In PTDL, it is necessary to quickly and effectively implement the Plan to implement the master plan for the development of Xuan Dai Bay national tourist area to 2030 of the People's Committee of Phu Yen province [80]. Specifically:

By 2025, Xuan Dai Bay will become a center of coastal resort tourism in the South Central Coast region; an important destination on the national tourist route, forming complementary links with other destinations in the region such as Da Nang, Qui

120


Nhon, Nha Trang and the Central Highlands region. By 2030, Xuan Dai Bay will basically meet the criteria and become a national tourist area.

* Tourism product development

- Main tourism products: Resort tourism on the bay such as yachts, floating houses (floating bungalows); special resorts attached to rocks; high-class, isolated resorts on the shore...; sightseeing and experience tourism on the bay associated with aquaculture areas; watching the sunset on the bay...; sports tourism, entertainment on the bay, on the shore; entertainment according to the model of specialized parks such as: ocean parks, rock wonder parks..., entertainment, high-tech complexes...; eco-tourism, scuba diving to see corals, exploring the marine ecosystem...

- Complementary tourism products: Community tourism; tourism associated with traditional cultural events and festivals; commercial tourism, business tourism, specialty shopping, etc.

* Organizing tourism development space

According to Decision No. 2127/QD-TTg, on the Master Plan for the development of Xuan Dai Bay National Tourist Area [81], focusing on developing tourism space on the bay surface and 9 tourist sub-zones, including: Bac Tu Nham tourist sub-zone; Nam Tu Nham high-end tourist sub-zone; Xuan Thinh peninsula eco-tourism forest; Bai Om resort sub-zone; Bac Song Cau tourist sub-zone (Xuan Yen ward, Xuan Phu ward); Nam Song Cau tourist sub-zone (Xuan Thanh ward); Dong Bo mountain sub-zone (Xuan Dai ward); Ganh Do - Binh Sa general tourist sub-zone; Ganh Da Dia tourist sub-zone.

5) Tuy Hoa city beach

Tuy Hoa City Beach has a very advantageous location, located right in the center of Tuy Hoa City, the focal point for tourists when coming to Phu Yen, so it needs investment to become one of the main tourist destinations of Phu Yen. This place has been planned to become the tourism service center of the province. In addition, Tuy Hoa City Beach also has advantages in terms of tourism capacity, connectivity and good environmental conditions. These are ideal conditions for the development of large-scale beach resort tourism associated with swimming activities and the development of sea sports tourism (diving, speedboats, kayaking, paragliding, sailing, etc.). On the beach, it is necessary to build a paragliding starting point, a boat dock, diving services, parasols, coffee on the beach, etc.

Currently, Tuy Hoa beach area has a number of high-end resorts and resorts with a variety of services. However, the development space of the beach is still large, so expanding investment in more high-end resorts and tourism services in the North and

121


The south side of the beach is necessary to create a large-scale tourist space, typical of Phu Yen. However, it is necessary to plan to only allow the construction of tourist services on the west side of Doc Lap Street so that the sea space is not obscured.

One thing to note when exploiting Tuy Hoa beach is to pay attention to the strong rip current along the shore, which is dangerous for swimming. The rip current section is from the Ngoc Peninsula restaurant to the beach area of ​​the Navy submarine nursing center in An Phu commune. Therefore, there should be forms to warn tourists when swimming.

6) Linking tourist attractions Bai Mon - Mui Dai Lanh and Da Bia mountain

According to the assessment results, the two tourist destinations of Da Bia and Bai Mon - Mui Dai Lanh have many criteria that are very favorable for tourism development: attractiveness, capacity, sustainability, etc. However, the common limitation of these two national scenic spots is accessibility. With the current situation, these two locations are only suitable for tourists in good health, because to reach the tourist destination, visitors need to climb a relatively long distance, which will greatly limit the number of tourists at the tourist destination. To overcome the above problem, it is necessary to exploit the value of this resource in the direction of creating unique tourism products, different from other tourist destinations in Phu Yen and suitable for many types of tourists. The proposed exploitation direction is as follows:

- Parallel to the road up the mountain, it is necessary to build a cable car to take visitors to the top of Da Bia mountain: Cable car location from Bai Mon to Da Bia peak (length about 5.7km); Pick-up point is Bai Mon.

- In Bai Mon area, invest in more tourism services to pick up and drop off guests, accommodation and food services so that visitors can experience the sunrise at Mui Dien point.

- On the top of Da Bia mountain (the area that can build tourism services is about 19,000m2 , including the area of ​​Da Bia block), it is necessary to invest in building a system of villas, restaurants, sightseeing spots, entertainment areas, etc.

7) Van Hoa Plateau

Van Hoa Plateau is prioritized for exploitation because the special feature here is the cool climate, fog in the early morning and late afternoon creating the most beautiful and unique landscape in Phu Yen. The vegetation is rich and diverse with many subtropical flowers. Van Hoa Plateau has a gentle terrain, soft undulating terrain surface suitable for building resorts, sightseeing, golf courses; there is a large lake, wide and open water surface to organize active resort activities such as fishing, boating, ... These are extremely favorable conditions for developing resort tourism, visiting the plateau.


and ecotourism.

Currently, on the Van Hoa plateau, there are some tourist attractions near Long Van lake, but the services are still very small. It is necessary to build this place to become a resort paradise of Phu Yen like Da Lat Wonder Resort.

Proposed exploitation direction as follows: Developing tourism services around Long Van lake, Van Hoa lake; Prioritizing first the Long Van lake area, developing into a high-class resort, expanding to the East and North of the lake; Building a system of high-class hotels, resorts, villas, swimming pools, bungalows around the lake; The East side is a flower garden, children's playground; The gentle hill in the North is a golf course; In the resort there are services: organizing meetings/parties, passenger shuttle service to the airport, to tourist attractions on the plateau, restaurants, cafes, picnic areas for families, swimming pools, saunas, massage rooms, spas...

8) Linking tourist attractions Xuan Huong Lake - H'Ly waterfall

For the southwestern region of Phu Yen, Xuan Huong Lake has a location advantage for tourism development because it is located right in the center of Hai Rieng Town. H'Ly Waterfall (also known as Tay Du Ky Waterfall) is a tourist destination that has been invested in and is associated with the famous TV series "Love and Ambition", so it is a destination that tourists are looking for. It is necessary to exploit these two TNDL spots to promote tourism development in the area. It is necessary to invest in building Xuan Huong Lake area into a central tourist destination, connecting with other tourist destinations such as H'Ly Waterfall, Song Hinh Hydroelectric Lake, Le Diem Cultural Village. Here, develop according to the type of sightseeing - ecological - experiential tourism associated with local culture.

Currently, in the area of ​​Xuan Huong Lake and H'Ly waterfall, there are tourism services such as food and rest, but they are not commensurate with the value of the resources. The proposed exploitation direction is as follows:

- At Xuan Huong Lake: Build tourism services along Nguyen Van Troi Street (Southeast side of the road, 700m long), services include: motels, villas, restaurants, entertainment areas... the side adjacent to the lake is a flower garden. This is the accommodation area for tourists when coming to Song Hinh; Around the lake, build fishing spots, sightseeing spots, check-in spots; Build a boat dock; Establish a local handicraft display area; Design an outdoor community activity area, lakeside; Invest in means of transport to take visitors to visit Song Hinh hydroelectric lake, H'Ly waterfall, Le Diem cultural village.


- At H'Ly waterfall: It is necessary to build a road leading down to the waterfall to ensure safety for visitors, and build steps; Create check-in locations; It is necessary to pay attention to recommending visitors the best time to visit so that they can enjoy the most beautiful time of the year (the waterfall is most beautiful and majestic during the rainy season and early spring, from October to February, this is the time when the waterfall has a lot of water).

Note: In the Western region, the tourist attractions are limited by being affected by strong storms in the summer, so when investing in tourist attractions here, it is necessary to pay attention to have suitable designs, as well as recommendations for tourists.

4.2.1.2. For exploiting tourism types

* For resort tourism associated with beaches:

The assessment results show that 7/9 beaches have achieved high levels (RTL and quite TL), including: Tram Beach, Nom Beach, Xep Beach, Long Thuy Beach, Bang Beach, Tu Nham Beach - Vinh Hoa, Tuy Hoa Beach. These beaches need to be prioritized for exploitation. (See Appendix 11 for images of beaches).

Phu Yen's beaches are generally still very wild, this is the difference of Phu Yen's beach system compared to other localities and is also a tourist attraction in the current period when tourists' psychology is increasingly oriented towards peace and wilderness. Resort tourism associated with the pristine values ​​of the beaches is a typical tourism product and also the main tourism product of Phu Yen. Therefore, resort tourism associated with the beaches needs to be prioritized for exploitation. It is necessary to form high-class resorts on the beaches, with the following orientation:

1) For small, relatively isolated beaches such as Bai Bang, Bai Nom, Bai Xep (except Bai Tram, because this place is now a 5-star luxury resort Zannier Bai San Ho with many tourism services), it is necessary to invest in the following services: Build separate villas with bedrooms, swimming pools, private gardens and have a clear view of the sea; Have an outdoor resort (separate from the villas); Have full spa services, massage, yoga, sauna, health care, gym, swimming pool...; Have a bar, restaurant with many pure local specialties or European and Asian dishes; Have sunbathing services on the beach to enjoy the fresh, quiet air; Have a marina and yacht services to visit the bay and island (for beaches in the bay or beaches near the island).

2) For large-scale beaches such as Tu Nham - Vinh Hoa beach, Long Thuy beach, Tuy Hoa beach; in addition to the above investment, there should be additional sea sports services such as: paragliding, surfing, parasailing, kayaking, jet skiing, canoeing

124


banana floats…(Tuy Hoa beach currently has initial tourist services such as resorts, swimming, and coastal entertainment).

* For LHDL to visit and experience geological values ​​associated with stone culture

According to the results of geological resource assessment for PTDL, geological resources associated with rocks in Phu Yen meet all 4 criteria of geological diversity value; aesthetic value; unique and distinctive value and accompanying value. This is a solid theoretical basis for Phu Yen to be able to develop this LHDL.

Moreover, in the current period when all localities are interested in tourism development, duplication of tourism products will make it difficult to create competitive advantages, especially for localities that are latecomers in tourism development like Phu Yen. Therefore, finding a unique, specific and branded tourism product will be a competitive advantage in tourism products in the market.

With the advantage of unique natural resources such as Ganh Da Dia, a geological heritage of Vietnam, a special national monument and a very rare landscape in the world, this place is always the top concern of tourists when coming to Phu Yen. However, if there is only Ganh Da Dia, it is not enough to promote all the values ​​of natural resources associated with stone in Phu Yen. Therefore, developing a tourist attraction to experience geological values ​​associated with stone culture needs to connect with natural resources associated with stone and stone cultural values ​​in Phu Yen (of which Ganh Da Dia is the trump card) so that tourists can have the journey to experience the geological values ​​associated with stone culture of Phu Yen in the most complete and impressive way (see image in Appendix 10). Therefore, this tourist attraction is prioritized for exploitation as follows:

- Northern region: Places to explore geological values ​​are Ganh Ong, Hon Yen, Ganh Da Dia, Ganh Den, Vuc Hom, Vuc Song. Explore the stone cultural values ​​in Tuy An district (Tuy An stone organ, Da Trang pagoda, stone trumpet, stone fence, stone wall, stone road, stone well).

- Southern region: Places to explore geological values ​​are Mui Dien, Da Bia mountain, Hon Nua, and Hoa Thang rocky cape.

4.2.2. Exploitation orientation over time

- Regarding the time of exploitation: Accessibility to tourist destinations will be the criterion to determine the time of tourism exploitation at natural resource sites. If a place has beautiful natural resources but is inaccessible, it is meaningless for tourism. Thus, easily accessible natural resources will be exploited first, and difficult-to-access natural resources will be exploited when the traffic route is completed. In terms of this criterion, natural resources selected for priority exploitation according to resource points or according to LHDL generally have convenient traffic.

125


convenient, easy to access so it can be exploited immediately. There are only two locations, Vuc Song and Vuc Hom, that currently do not have access roads (the road is difficult, near the abyss you have to walk more than 1km). Therefore, LHDL visiting and experiencing geological values ​​associated with stone culture at the present time cannot be exploited at these two locations.

- About the exploitation season:

The time for HDDL depends a lot on climatic factors. For Phu Yen, the rainy season is from September to December, so this is generally not a suitable time for HDDL.

However, there are also specific points for exploiting tourism for each type of natural resource, which need to be exploited appropriately to bring the highest efficiency. The orientations for exploitation according to seasonality are as follows:

+ Bai Xep tourist destination can be exploited for tourism all year round (except rainy days), but the most beautiful scenery of the year is from January to March, the time when the rainy season ends and spring begins, the natural grass on the coastal hills grows green and lush, creating the most poetic scene.

+ Hon Yen tourist destination is most beautiful at low tide, when the tide recedes, this is the time when the coral reefs are half submerged on the water surface, visitors can wade from the shore to the foot of Hon Yen, can catch snails, sea clams... In a month, there are about 08 days when the tide is low and you can wade to the foot of Hon Yen: from the 06th to the 09th and from the 21st to the 24th (March to September of the lunar calendar).

+ H'Ly waterfall is most beautiful from about October to January of the following year, because this is the time when the water is concentrated, so the waterfall's scenery is most majestic.

+ Experience the most beautiful tourism product "Land of yellow flowers on green grass" in spring (January to March), at this time the rice begins to ripen, turning the whole plain golden, the green vegetable fields with yellow flowers spread out endlessly, which is not available in other seasons of the year.

+ Visit the man-made vegetation (cassava, sugarcane) on the western hillsides (Song Hinh district), the most beautiful time is from August to October. At this time, the cassava and sugarcane hills are growing, creating an endless green vegetation cover, winding on the hillsides like the land and sky of Europe, which cannot be found at any other time of the year.

4.2.3. Exploitation orientation in terms of scale

Regarding the scale of exploitation at the TNTN points, it depends on the capacity. The basis for giving orientation on the scale of exploitation for each TNTN point that has been prioritized for exploitation is based on the actual capacity (RCC) of the TNTN point (because the actual capacity is the capacity that has been determined after eliminating the unfavorable natural factors for tourism).


The results of the orientation on the scale of exploitation are also the results of determining the allowable carrying capacity (ECC) of the resource point, because ECC is determined based on the ability to meet the tourism services of the tourist destination for the needs of tourists (the level of investment in tourism services takes into account the ability to meet the information technology needs of the tourist destination). The results of the assessment of the ECC capacity of the TNTN points are only at the present time based on the tourism services that the tourist destination currently has. When the tourism services at the tourist destinations are invested in the best, the actual carrying capacity will increase. However, even when the tourism services at the tourist destinations are invested in the best, only about 80% of the capacity of the tourist destination should be exploited, because TNTN needs time to "rest and recover".

The calculation results to provide orientation on the scale of exploitation at the current TNTN sites ( current ECC ) and the scale of exploitation when fully invested in tourism services ( maximum ECC ) are shown in Table 4.6. Orientation on the scale of exploitation is as follows (only providing orientation on the scale of exploitation for 10 TNTN sites identified as priority for exploitation):
