The northern central region will focus on developing culture-history
tourism taking advantage of the rich cultural and historical heritage,
it was agreed at a December 22 conference on how to implement the Master
plan on the region’s tourism development to 2020 with a vision to 2030.
Sea-based
tours will be another priority as the region stretches along the
coastline with many beautiful beaches, with the aim of turning tourism
into a spearhead economic sector by 2020, a driving force for local
socio-economic development and significantly contributing to poverty
reduction.
The
plan has set the targets of attracting more than 2.1 million of
international visitors and 11 million of domestic tourists in 2020;
generating VND32.8 trillion (US$1.56 billion) in tourism revenues.
On
the occasion, the Vietnam National Tourism Administration launched a
domestic tourism promoting programme with the aim of raising the number
of tourists to 37.5 million in 2015.
The
master plan for the northern central region was approved by the Prime
Minister in 2013, with total investment of more than VND165 trillion
(US$7.85 billion).
The
region comprises six provinces, namely Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh,
Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue. It is home to three World
Heritage sites, which are the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang
Binh, the Ho Dynasty Citadel in Thanh Hoa and the Complex of Hue
Monument in Thua Thien-Hue.
