EXPERT INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
1. To compete with localities with strong tourism development such as Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, ... requires Tay Ninh tourism to identify its own distinct strengths. So, in your opinion, what are the attractive and highly competitive tourism products of Tay Ninh tourism?
With a prime geographical location and unique tourism potential, Tay Ninh has favorable conditions to attract tourists and establish attractive tourism products... One of the famous key tourist areas of the province is Ba Den Mountain Tourist Area, which has been oriented to become one of 46 national tourist areas in the Master Plan for Vietnam's tourism development to 2020, with a vision to 2030. Every year, Tay Ninh attracts more than 2.5 million visitors, of which the Ba Den Mountain Spring Festival alone attracts more than 1.5 million visitors. Currently, the Master Plan for the development of Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area, Tay Ninh Province to 2020, with a vision to 2030, has been approved by the Prime Minister. Accordingly, Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area strives to basically complete the structure of the tourist area and a number of key, spearhead projects by 2020; By 2030, Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area, together with Cao Dai Holy See, Dau Tieng Lake and Tay Ninh City, will become an important destination, one of the leading products of the Southeast region and the whole country.
Regarding the type of tourism associated with religion and belief, we can mention the Cao Dai Holy See - Tay Ninh with its outstanding architecture, typical of the temple architecture of the Cao Dai religion, harmoniously combining Eastern and Western architectural art. This is where the festivals of the Cao Dai followers take place and is a place that attracts a large number of domestic and international tourists to visit every year.
Being a locality with a rich revolutionary tradition, Tay Ninh also strongly develops tourism associated with exploring historical revolutionary relics. Tay Ninh forest is the residence of the Central Office of the South - the leading agency of the Southern revolution; Duong Minh Chau war zone; Tua Hai with the historic victory associated with the Dong Khoi movement... In addition, Tay Ninh has many other places associated with the resistance war against foreign invaders such as Boi Loi Base, An Thoi Tunnels,...
In addition, Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park has high biodiversity value with many species of flora and fauna listed in the Vietnam Red Book; very suitable for developing ecotourism and scientific research. In addition, associated with the conquest of nature and national development is the Dau Tieng Lake project - the largest artificial irrigation lake in the region with 27,000 hectares of water surface; with Nhim Island of 340 hectares, it is an ideal location for an international-level eco-tourism, resort and entertainment area. Currently, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (VH, TT&DL) is promoting investment and development in line with the potential of this area.
Although possessing great potential for developing various types of tourism, Tay Ninh's typical tourism product is still spiritual and religious tourism. To promote this type of tourism, creating a competitive advantage over other localities, the province focuses on calling for investment in the Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area and from there will link with other tourist areas and spots in the province; strengthen tourism promotion; invest in completing the technical infrastructure system - entertainment services for international and luxury visitors; train to improve the quality of tourism human resources, etc.
2. Specifically, what typical tourism products will Tay Ninh tourism develop to ensure they are suitable for the needs of each customer market?
According to the Plan, the province focuses on developing typical tourism products such as: Tourism associated with festivals and beliefs (exploiting the advantage that Tay Ninh has many areas and many rich festivals that reflect the freedom of belief of the community such as the Festival of the Cao Dai community at the Cao Dai Holy See - Tay Ninh, Ba Den Mountain Festival, etc.); Tourism associated with historical relics, scenic spots and cultural works (exploiting the advantage that Tay Ninh has many historical relics, scenic spots and cultural works ranked at the national and local levels such as the Special Historical Relic of the Central Bureau of the Southern Region, the National Relic of Ba Den Mountain, etc.); Ecotourism associated with the ecosystem of National Parks, countryside, and gardens (exploiting the advantage that Tay Ninh possesses the potential and diversity of ecosystems in Lo Xo - Xa Mat National Park, the wetland ecosystem at Dau Tieng Lake, etc.); Craft village tourism (exploiting the advantage that Tay Ninh has a number of traditional craft villages that can be developed into tourist attractions such as: Trang Bang rice paper making, rice noodle soup, incense making, etc.); Commercial and official tourism; Family visit and medical treatment tourism; Tay Ninh culinary tourism; Entertainment tourism, etc.
3. Tay Ninh tourism has not yet developed to its potential. What do you think are the limitations of Tay Ninh tourism?
Local tourism promotion is not effective and not yet reaching the international market; propaganda and promotion content is still monotonous; investment funds for promotion and promotion have not met the demand, especially for international tourism routes in Vietnam.
Tay Ninh tourism, in addition to its existing advantages, still has many things to discuss. Among them, travel, tour connection exploitation, promotional activities, etc.
South – Cambodia and vice versa. Besides, accommodation services are still limited.
Because currently the whole province still does not have a single hotel that meets 4 or 5 star standards.
In particular, human resources serving the tourism industry are both lacking and weak.
Tay Ninh has many strengths to develop tourism and trade. However
However, at present, the issue of master planning still has many problems, although the Government, ministries and branches have paid attention to support in the past. In particular, the issue of re-planning the Ba Den Mountain relic complex and the Southern Central Bureau Base in accordance with the Law on Cultural Heritage is prominent. The specific reason is that the staff department was negligent in using the words "Master planning" with "General construction planning". Therefore, if implemented according to the Master Planning, the cost will be low, there will be no consulting unit to implement, and at the same time, it will not ensure the province's goal of synchronously developing the entire relic complex in terms of history, culture, religion, tourism, forestry, environmental resources and national security and defense...
4. To achieve this goal, what fundamental solutions will the provincial tourism industry have?
To successfully achieve the goals set by the Provincial Party Committee, the tourism sector will focus on creating a legal environment for tourism management, attracting all domestic and foreign resources for tourism investment and development; administrative reform and simplification of procedures related to tourists and tourism businesses. Focus on investing in embellishing and protecting cultural and historical relics and restoring and developing traditional festivals serving tourism; enhancing the promotion of Tay Ninh tourism as well as building brands for tourism services. In addition, the sector will also have policies to attract workers through training, improving the quality of tourism human resources. Create links for tours and routes to Cambodia between travel agencies in the province and neighboring countries in bringing visitors out and in through Moc Bai and Xa Mat border gates; propose using passports instead of passports.
Visa for tourists exiting through border areas between Vietnam and Cambodia.
In short, the current issue for sustainable development of Tay Ninh tourism until 2020 is the need for goals, plans and calculated investment solutions to achieve the highest efficiency. First of all, it is a system of rich and quality tourism products and services; infrastructure and staff, organizational mechanisms that meet requirements; and the synchronization in awareness and action of social forces towards tourism activities, the highest goal of which is to preserve and promote in a fundamental and sustainable way the capital resources, natural and cultural heritages in the process of tourism development. To achieve this, it requires the efforts of not only the tourism industry but also the entire political system in Tay Ninh.
Thanks a lot!
