Unlocking the Power of the Sea for Tomorrow’s Travellers
Vietnam Rises as a Coastal Powerhouse
With over 3,260 kilometers of coastline and more than 3,000 islands, Vietnam is charting a bold course to become a global leader in coastal tourism. From the calm jade waters of Phú Quốc to the coral-rich bays of Nha Trang, the country is blending natural beauty with cultural depth, all while investing in sustainability.
Backed by a national push to elevate eco-friendly tourism and smart infrastructure, Vietnam is making the most of its seaside advantages to draw travelers seeking more than just a beach getaway.
Phú Quốc Shines as a Sustainable Island Escape
Phú Quốc, Vietnam’s largest island, has undergone a dramatic transformation into a world-class beach destination. Known for its powdery beaches and tranquil waters, the island is now setting new benchmarks in eco-tourism.
Efforts are underway to expand the island’s airport and upgrade tourist facilities while emphasizing environmental stewardship. A new seaside square is rising at Bãi Đất Đỏ, and luxury resorts are embracing green energy, reducing plastic waste, and investing in wellness tourism.
To add cultural layers to its appeal, Phú Quốc is spotlighting its fishing villages, traditional crafts, and lush national parks—inviting visitors to experience life beyond the shoreline.
Nha Trang Blends Coastal Leisure with Conservation
Nha Trang remains one of Vietnam’s most popular coastal cities, and it continues to evolve. With its famous bay and vibrant marine life, the city is enhancing its offerings through new beach facilities, reef restoration projects, and expanded tourism types, including medical and cultural tourism.
Khánh Hòa Province is working closely with marine conservation groups to establish protected diving zones and educate travelers about marine biodiversity. Wellness resorts, spa retreats, and traditional healing centers are attracting more international visitors seeking holistic escapes.
By 2025, Nha Trang aims to welcome nearly 12 million visitors and generate more than $2 billion in tourism revenue.
Tam Hải Cultivates Authentic, Low-Impact Experiences
For travelers seeking tranquility and cultural authenticity, Tam Hải Island in Quảng Nam offers a different kind of beach escape. This quiet island commune is investing in community-based tourism that protects its mangrove ecosystems while empowering local livelihoods.
Ferry access has improved, and small homestays are flourishing, offering travelers the chance to connect with traditional fishing communities and local customs. Strict development rules help preserve the island’s natural charm, reinforcing Quảng Nam Province’s broader commitment to sustainable coastal management.
Nhơn Châu Aims for Luxury with a Light Footprint
Nhơn Châu Island, off the coast of Quy Nhơn, is emerging as a luxury eco-tourism destination. Bình Định Province is encouraging private sector investment in solar-powered resorts, eco-friendly leisure activities, and enhanced transport access through upgraded ferry terminals.
Marine life protection zones are being expanded, and guided nature experiences are being developed for visitors looking to connect with the environment in a mindful way. This high-end, low-impact approach aligns with Vietnam’s national vision for the future of its coastal tourism.
A National Push Toward Sustainable Coastal Tourism
Vietnam’s government is laying the foundation for lasting growth across its coastal regions with a series of national strategies:
-
Upgrading international airports in key beach destinations to increase access
-
Enhancing ferry systems and coastal roads to better link islands and mainland cities
-
Launching digital tourism platforms to modernize visitor services
-
Enforcing stricter environmental protection to preserve fragile ecosystems
-
Promoting the country’s coastal assets through global campaigns focused on eco-tourism and cultural discovery
The Future of Vietnam’s Coastline Is Green
As international travelers seek more responsible travel experiences, Vietnam is positioning itself as a destination where sustainability and hospitality meet. With its stunning natural assets, growing infrastructure, and commitment to green development, the country is ready to become a leading force in global coastal tourism.
From luxury retreats to cultural encounters and community-based eco-experiences, Vietnam’s shores offer something for every kind of traveler—while staying true to the rhythms of the sea and the spirit of preservation.
