Boasting 180 kilometers of coastline, stunning natural landscapes with Van Phong, Nha Trang and Cam Ranh bays listed as the world’s most beautiful bays, together with many exciting festivals such as Ponagar Temple festival, whale worshipping festival, and Salanganes Festival, Khanh Hoa province poses huge potential to develop tourism.

Khanh Hoa sets target to welcome 6.8 million tourists in 2019 (a 7% rise over 2018), including 3.3 million foreign ones (18% up). The province also strives for VND22,500 billion in tourism turnover (9% up).
Tran Phu Beach in Nha Trang has been named among the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world by US News & World Report.
With numerous beautiful beaches, the coastline made an impression with its “clear and calm waters and beautiful white sand,” according to the site.
