3.1.4. Forecasting some tourism development indicators
Based on the current status of tourism development in Binh Thuan and Vietnam tourism in the past and the orientations for tourism development in Binh Thuan in the coming time, it is possible to forecast some tourism development indicators in Binh Thuan in the period of 2010 - 2020 as follows:
3.1.4.1. Tourists
Based on the current situation of tourist growth in Vietnam and Binh Thuan in the period of 1995 - 2010 and the orientation of tourism development in Binh Thuan province until 2020, the average growth of tourists in Binh Thuan province in the period is forecasted.
2011 - 2020 about 10%/year (in which, international visitors increase 13%/year, domestic visitors increase 9.5%/year). Calculating according to the above forecast, by 2015, Binh Thuan will welcome about 4,000,000 tourists (in which about 460,000 international visitors and
3,540,000 domestic visitors), in 2020 will welcome about 6,450,000 tourists (of which about 850,000 international visitors and 5,600,000 domestic visitors).
3.1.4.2. Accommodation room
The accommodation needs of visitors are closely related to the number of visitors, the number of days of stay of visitors, and the average room occupancy rate. Currently, about 92% of international visitors to Binh Thuan have a need to use accommodation services, this rate for domestic visitors is 78%. In the future, we will invest in building large-scale tourism projects, diversify tourism products, improve service quality, extend the length of stay of visitors, the accommodation needs will increase, about 95% of international visitors, about 85% of domestic visitors use accommodation services.
The current average length of stay for international visitors is 3.3 days, and for domestic visitors is 1.52 days. It is forecasted that by 2015, the average length of stay for international visitors will be 3.5 days, and for domestic visitors will be 1.7 days; by 2020, the average length of stay for international visitors will be 4 days, and for domestic visitors will be 2 days.
The average number of beds in a room in the hotel and motel system is currently about 1.5 - 1.8 for international guests and 2 - 3 for domestic guests. In the coming time, the guest room ratio will not be increased, but the room quality will be improved and high-end services will be developed. The international room ratio will be 1.8 and domestic guests will be 3.
According to the World Tourism Organization, for the hotel business to be profitable, the average room occupancy rate must be over 50%. The current average room occupancy rate (2005-2010) in Binh Thuan is 53.7%/year. It is forecasted that this capacity will reach 60% in 2015 and 65% in 2020.
The number of rooms is calculated according to the formula [44]:
Number of guests x number of days of stay
Number of rooms = --------------------------------------------------------------------
(365 days x (Capacity x (Average number of beds per year) per room)
According to the above formula and forecasts on number of guests, number of days of stay, room occupancy rate, average number of beds, it can be forecasted that the demand for accommodation rooms in 2015 will be about 13,800 and in 2020 about 23,700.
3.1.4.3. Tourism income
Based on the current growth of tourism income in Vietnam and Binh Thuan in the period of 1995 - 2010 and the forecast of average growth of tourism income in Vietnam in the period of 2011 - 2015 at about 16.5%/year, in the period of 2016 - 2020 at about 12.5%/year, it is possible to forecast the average growth of tourism income in Binh Thuan in the period of 2011 - 2015 at about 20%/year and in the period of 2016 - 2020 at about 19%/year. According to the forecast, tourism income in Binh Thuan in 2015 will reach about 6,100 billion VND and in 2020 will reach about 14,500 billion VND.

3.1.4.5. Tourism human resources
The tourism industry employed 8,610 people in 2010. Currently, on average, 1.26 workers (direct + indirect) are employed per room. In the period 2010 - 2020, on average, 1 international guest room requires 1.5 direct workers, 1 domestic guest room requires 1 direct worker.
