PHAN THIẾT — Mũi Né, the “paradise of sea and sand” in Bình Thuận Province, is on its way to becoming a world-class tourism destination, driving economic growth and enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnam’s tourism industry.

According to the recently approved master planning scheme for the Mũi Né National Tourist Area, the development vision aims to make the destination one of Asia-Pacific’s leading tourism hubs by 2050, built on modern, sustainable, and environmentally friendly infrastructure.

The plan focuses on developing beach resorts, water sports, and sand dune experiences, while preserving Chăm cultural heritage, coastal community traditions, and local festivals — all contributing to Mũi Né’s unique identity.

With a “green, clean, and sustainable” vision, the development prioritises green spaces, natural landscapes, and the protection of cultural and historical landmarks, ensuring a balanced growth between tourism and urban development.

By 2030, the Mũi Né National Tourist Area is projected to host 200,000 residents, covering 9,909 hectares of land, including 1,773 hectares for tourism services and 41,000 hotel rooms. By 2040, the population is expected to reach 300,000, with 12,986 hectares of land and 71,500 hotel rooms dedicated to tourism.

The master plan also defines land-use strategies, infrastructure development, and key investment priorities to turn this ambitious vision into reality — positioning Mũi Né as a global icon of Vietnam’s tourism industry.
