According to the plan, the first phase of the Long Thanh International Airport project is expected to accommodate approximately 70,000 passengers per day, and this number could quadruple in the second phase. This presents a significant advantage, and the province needs to prepare its infrastructure, tourism products, and projects to seize this opportunity.
To make Dong Nai an attractive destination, Mr. Hong Linh directed the development of five new tourism routes that maximize the advantages of Long Thanh Airport. Specifically, diverse tourism routes will be established from Long Thanh Airport to connect with local areas such as Bien Hoa, Vinh Cuu, Da Lat, Phan Thiet, Ho Tram, and various ecological zones within Dong Nai.
Regarding specific tourism products, the Provincial Party Secretary proposed organizing a hot air balloon festival, a pottery festival combined with a brass band festival during the upcoming April 30th holiday next year.
According to the Provincial People’s Committee, the modern highway and ring road systems that have been or are being constructed provide a competitive advantage for Dong Nai in attracting tourists and connecting the province’s transportation network to various tourist spots.
Currently, Dong Nai is implementing several key tourism projects such as the Thac Mai – Bau Nuoc Soi project, the Nui Chua Chan ecological tourism complex, and the Nui Le Lake project. The Dong Nai leadership has stated that the province will focus on developing eco-tourism, rural tourism, and culinary tourism.
In the past seven months, Dong Nai’s tourism sector welcomed over 2.1 million visitors, a 17.8% increase, with revenue reaching VND 1.385 trillion, up 29.1% compared to the same period in 2023.
