Besides, Dong Nai has a large tourist market with hundreds of thousands of workers coming here to live and work. This is the driving force for the province to seize the opportunity and build its own tourism brand.

Take advantage of local advantages

With a series of national key transport infrastructure projects being implemented in the province such as Long Thanh International Airport; expressways: Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau..., Dong Nai has many advantages in connecting and promoting socio -economic development, including developing the province's tourism products.

In addition to the advantages of transport infrastructure, Dong Nai also has hundreds of relics, communal houses, temples and famous tourist destinations such as: National historical relic of the victory site of Tau O checkpoint, Special national relic of the Southern Vietnam Liberation Army Command Base (Ta Thiet Base), War Zone D, Bu Gia Map National Park, Cat Tien National Park, Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve, Stieng ethnic cultural conservation area in Bom Bo, Son Tien Tourist Area, My Le, Bu Lach grassland...

In 2025, Dong Nai tourism has the development theme “Dong Nai tourism takes off with aviation”. According to the plan, Dong Nai province will attract more than 5.9 million tourists in 2025.

To preserve and promote local tourism advantages, many tourism businesses in the province are researching and connecting to develop new, local-specific tourism products.

Director of Thanh Nien Agricultural Service and Trade Cooperative (Hang Gon Ward) Truong Dinh Khanh hopes that after the merger, Dong Nai province will have more opportunities to develop tourism products. Living right in the "fruit capital" of the Southeast region and managing the Cau Dau Glamping tourist destination, Mr. Khanh hopes that in the near future there will be more tourism products connecting destinations in the province.
