These are the tourist markets


fastidious, with very high demands on facilities and service personnel, however they are highly appreciated for their politeness, neatness and high spending ability.

Diversifying the market to avoid dependence is very necessary, however, currently tourism agencies focus on serving the Chinese tourist market without paying attention to serving other markets. The problem of Chinese tourists and cheap tours for this group is causing some problems for the tourism industry in Khanh Hoa and Vietnam tourism in general. The increase in Chinese tourists is not proportional to the amount of money this group of tourists spends in Khanh Hoa. Chinese tourists are a low-cost and popular market, so the efficiency and profit are not as expected.

This type of tourism includes main products such as beach resort tourism, mountain resort tourism, and medical resort tourism. This tourism product targets the market of tourists who have the ability to pay high costs, have a preference for being close to nature, and desire to be served professionally and thoughtfully. This type of tourism business plays an increasingly important role in the sustainable development of tourism in Khanh Hoa province.

Therefore, in the coming time, it is necessary to research and consider developing this type of service to extend the length of stay of tourists, especially international tourists.

To do this, it is necessary to: Focus on building in some peripheral areas of Nha Trang city center and islands special entertainment areas such as casinos, cruise ships, bars, high-class entertainment services, pubs serving until morning.

fishing villages of Vinh Luong, Bich Dam, Tri Nguyen, Binh Ba as well as participating and learning about the customs and festivals of the residents.
