Binh Phuoc encourages tourism investors

With its great tourism potential, especially ecotourism and nature tourism, Binh Phuoc Province is focusing on the sustainable use of its tourism potential and providing incentives for investors in its tourism sector.

Binh Phuoc is located in the Southern Key Economic Zone (SKEZ), one of the country's most powerful economic development zones, adjacent to the Central Highlands with its unique cultural traits, and shares a long border with Cambodia.

Binh Phuoc lies along the Ho Chi Minh Highway, the arterial route connecting the Central Highlands to the Mekong Delta region. These provide favorable conditions for the province to develop its economy and tourism to become a well known destination in the Southeast Asian region.
According to Deputy Chairman of Binh Phuoc's People's Committee Nguyen Huy Phong, Binh Phuoc is relatively abundant in tourism resources including forests, waterfalls and lakes, which favors provincial ecotourism. In addition, Binh Phuoc is also home to Khmer culture, the ethnic cultures of the Central Highlands, and mixed culture of the south eastern region with its many festivals, cultural heritage, which favors cultural tourism.
In order to make the most of these advantages, Binh Phuoc's tourism sector has signed cooperation programs with Ho Chi Minh City's partner sector, completed specific inter-regional tours, surveyed routes connecting Binh Phuoc with other provinces in the South East and Southern Central Highlands. Seven travel businesses currently operate in Binh Phuoc and provincial capital investment to build tourism infrastructure from various economic sectors has reached more than VND42.7 billion.
In terms of investment attraction, Binh Phuoc encouraged investors to pour capital into six specific projects including the 237 ha VND324 billion Suoi Cam General Entertainment Park in Tan Phu Ward, Dong Xoai Town; Ba Ra-Thac Mo Eco-tourism Complex in Son Giang Ward, Phuoc Long Town, about 50km from Ho Chi Minh City which is 732m above the sea level and recognized as a historic heritage site on April 20, 1995; and Soc Bom Bo Ethnic Cultural Village Conservation in Binh Minh Commune, Bu Dang District, with historical vestiges of the American War .
During the resistance war, the S'Tieng ethnic group, fought against the US army despite the hardships. Soc Bom Bo has so far changed for the better thanks to tourism development projects such as the Bu Gia Map National Park located in the north of Binh Phuoc over an area of 25,926ha, with a wealth of flora and fauna suitable for the development of nature tourism; and the Ta Thiet Military Base Ecotourism site.
Ta Thiet Military Base was located in Ta Thiet Commune, Loc Ninh District, used to be the headquarters of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front where the Ho Chi Minh Campaign Command was set up in 1975. It has become a well known destination for domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
In addition, there is also an eco-tourism and recreation project under construction at the Hoa Lu Border Gate, which will be a combination of commercial and tourism services in order to create conditions to promote border trade and tourism between Vietnam and Cambodia.
