On May 26th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the overall plan tourism development in the South Central Coast of Viet Nam by 2020 with a vision for 2030, approved by the Prime Minister on December 24th, 2014.

The overall plan set the specific objectives of attracting 15 million tourist arrivals, of which, international tourists are hoped to reach about 4.5 million arrivals by 2020 and 25 million domestic and 7.5 million foreign arrivals by 2030. The total revenue is expected to reach VND70 trillion by 2020 and with the goal of VND160 trillion by 2030.

Job indicators include creating jobs for over 400,000 employees by 2020, including more than 130,000 direct employees and striving to create jobs for 700,000 employees by 2030, of which it is hoped 230,000 will be direct employees.
