Accordingly, the northern region (Van Phong, Nha Trang) is identified as the central core, focusing on developing high-end island and beach resort tourism, cruise tourism, and MICE; the southern region (Cam Ranh Bay, Ninh Chu, Vinh Hy...) is oriented to become a growth pillar, playing a crucial supporting role for ecotourism, Cham culture tourism, and rural agriculture.

Khanh Hoa aims to welcome approximately 33 million tourists by 2030, generating revenue of 9 billion USD, contributing 20% to the province's GRDP. To realize this, the province will focus on six groups of solutions, from perfecting institutions and developing synchronous infrastructure to digital transformation and improving the quality of human resources.

In 2026, Khanh Hoa's tourism industry aims to welcome 18.8 million tourists, including 6.2 million international tourists, with a total revenue target of 78,100 billion VND. To realize this goal, key tasks have been identified, including implementing a comprehensive digital transformation project and building a database for the industry.
