Khanh Hoa - Dak Lak: Cooperation in developing sea and forest tourism products

VTV.vn - The People's Committees of Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak provinces have just held a conference to sign a cooperation agreement on tourism development between the two localities for the period 2026 - 2030.

Khanh Hoa - Dak Lak: Cooperation in developing sea and forest tourism products.

According to the signed content, the two provinces of Khanh Hoa - Dak Lak will focus on developing specific tourism products, forming key inter-provincial tourism routes connecting tourists from the coastal areas of Nha Trang - Cam Ranh to the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands - Buon Ma Thuot, Dray Nur, Yok Don. Eco-tourism, resort, community, agricultural and adventure sports tourism products... will be prioritized, in order to exploit the natural strengths and cultural identities of each locality.

The two sides agreed to increase data sharing, joint promotion and promotion, and connect information on destinations, events, and new tourism programs so that travel businesses can proactively build attractive tours, avoid duplication, and improve competitiveness. In addition, OCOP products and local specialties will be linked with tourism activities, contributing to spreading regional cultural values.

In addition to tourism, the cooperation program also extends to culture, sports, information and digital transformation. Khanh Hoa - Dak Lak will coordinate to organize art performances, art and book exhibitions, folk culture festivals, participate in sports competitions, exchange programs and training courses, professional development, foreign languages, and digital business for tourism workers.

In particular, Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak will cooperate in applying technology and digital transformation in tourism promotion, organizing online communication campaigns, developing digital platforms and interconnected databases to serve investment and tourism promotion.

Khanh Hoa has strengths in sea and island tourism and distinctive cultural heritage.

In the period of 2023 - 2025, Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak have implemented many effective linkage activities such as inter-regional "sea - forest" tours, Famtrip and Presstrip programs, and coordinated promotion at the Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Sea Festival, Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival, and international tourism promotion conferences. Thereby, the management capacity and quality of tourism human resources of the two provinces have been improved, contributing to positioning the inter-regional tourism brand of the South Central Coast - Central Highlands.

Despite many positive results, connecting transport infrastructure between the two provinces remains a major challenge, affecting the organization of long-term tours. Joint promotion activities and building a unified tourism image also need to be further strengthened.

With the new orientation for the period 2026 - 2030, Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak aim to build a sustainable cooperation model, creating a chain of "sea - forest" tourism products with strong regional identity, contributing to spreading cultural values, promoting socio-economic development and affirming the position of the two localities on the national tourism map.
