Chapter 2 Summary

Ba Ria - Vung Tau has many advantages for tourism development:

Geographical location: Located in VKTTDPPN, the region with the most dynamic economic development and investment attraction in the country. BR - VT is the gateway to the sea of ​​the Southeast region, convenient for sea and air transportation. Located 120 km from Ho Chi Minh City, 90 km from Bien Hoa, two major domestic tourism markets.

BR - VT is located in the equatorial climate zone, has no winter, very few storms, favorable for year-round tourism, especially sea tourism.

BR – VT has rich and diverse natural tourism resources, with mountains, forests, seas and islands, especially hot springs and beautiful beaches. Besides historical and cultural relics with the highlight: Con Dao prison system along with festivals attracting a large number of tourists from all over.

The province’s tourism industry was exploited early (since the French colonial period), so it has experience in management organization, exploitation and investment in infrastructure and technical facilities. Infrastructure and technical facilities are increasingly upgraded and improved.

The tourism industry receives close attention from local authorities and support from the General Department of Tourism.

With the above advantages, the tourism industry of the province has achieved: growth rate and revenue, number of visitors, tourism workers have increased continuously. BR - VT is one of the localities with the largest number of tourists in our country, more than 11 million arrivals, attracting domestic and foreign investment capital, new tourism products, and quality services have been invested and developed.

However, the tourism industry in BR-VT is facing challenges and its development is not commensurate with its potential.

Although there is much development potential, the industry's contribution to the province's GDP is still very modest, only 1.05%.

Local tourism revenue is not commensurate with the province's tourism potential and advantages, and tourism business efficiency is not high.

Reason:

BR – VT does not have a port for cruise ships to anchor, hydrofoils often encounter problems or delays. This is a traffic limitation in welcoming international guests.

There is still a large number of untrained workers in the tourism industry. Human resources in large-scale tourism projects serving high-end tourists are facing a shortage of highly skilled workers with foreign language skills and professional service skills.

Tourism products and types of tourism in the province are still monotonous and unattractive. Historical relics lack investment and upgrading, and there is a lack of typical and unique tourism products to attract visitors and prolong their stay. Tourism services are not diverse, and there is a lack of entertainment areas and performing arts centers that do not meet the needs of tourists.

The natural and social environment are still complicated, such as: street vendors still harassing customers during peak seasons; beaches are facing the risk of pollution due to continuous oil spills; domestic waste from fishermen on boats, residual oil, dead fish and shrimp, etc.

BR-VT tourism is also seasonal and weekend tourism. Therefore, at times when the number of visitors is very high, demand exceeds supply, leading to high prices and the appearance of "cutting and slashing" restaurants and eateries during peak tourist seasons. The peak tourist season is usually from after Tet to the end of July every year. The number of domestic visitors to BR-VT is unstable, often overloaded during major holidays.
