is closey linked to the founding history
of our nation, with its altar and grave
site of Luong Ma Chanh - a national
hero born in Phu Yen. We also have the
An Tho citadel - the birthplace of Vi-

secretary Tran Phu plus Chop Chai-Ma

people and armed forces successfully
rescued lawyer and late State President,
Nguyen Huu Tho.
Besides, the province carries many
distinctive cultural aspects due to its di-
verse resident groups, like the melodious
folk-songs of coastal fishermen and the
unique feasts of ethnic minority people.
Phu Yen is also proud of its delicious
seafood varieties like Cu Mong lagoon
crab and the O Loan lagoon oyster.
In brief, with great many scenic
spots and its local specialties, Phu Yen
and the south-central coastal provinces
hold much promise as tourist venues.

How has provincial potential been
tapped thus far?
Despite its enormous potential, lit-
tle investment has been channeled into
promoting tourism industry develop-
ment thus far. At this time, Phu Yen
just has one five-star and two four-star
hotels. Hence, the province is largely
regarded as a visitor stopover, rather
than a place for a longer term stay.
We have scaled up management ef-
forts to bolster tourism development
in the forthcoming time. Accordingly,
Phu Yen will prioritise developing ocean
tours and the tapping of cultural and
historical relics and our local cultures.
Efforts will be geared towards devel-
oping infrastructure around enchanting
beaches parallel to enlarging entertain-
ment venues and building unique tours
within the province, targeting the spe-
cial locations mentioned above.

to gradually turn Phu Yen into a cru-
cial link in the regional tourism devel-
opment chain, connecting the Central
