Local authorities have sketched out schemes to improve tourism services, diversify tourism products, and accelerate the implementation of key projects, particularly those in the north of Cam Ranh peninsula and Nha Trang resort city and the conversion of the Nha Trang sea port into a specialised tourism port.

The province will enhance cooperation with domestic and foreign provinces and cities and speed up the construction of the second runway at Cam Ranh International Airport in anticipation of the tourism sector’s growth.

Khanh Hoa is well-known for its beautiful beaches and many relic sites, particularly the Nha Trang Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
