Kien Giang also focuses on restructuring its tourism market by increasing the proportion of European visitors, making Southeast Asia a key market, and maintaining a stable flow of tourists from China and South Korea. Simultaneously, the province will explore new markets from India and the Middle East.
The province will target tourists from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and expand its market to the Central Highlands region, focusing on development links with Da Lat (Lam Dong) and increasing flights between Lam Dong and Phu Quoc.
