Tourists remember Phan Thiet

The streets of Phan Thiet in the past few days have been much more crowded than usual. Many roads are hundreds of meters long. However, everyone is happy because Phan Thiet is having a successful tourist season beyond expectations…

The hustle and bustle of Phan Thiet originates from the street festival event with the theme “Colors of Binh Thuan” held on the “golden days” – the 4-day September 2nd holiday. With rich programs from cuisine , trade fairs to music and dance… have met the needs of tourists.

Mr. Manh Truong in Tay Ninh just brought a group of French business friends to Phan Thiet to celebrate the 2/9 holiday and sent me a message praising Phan Thiet for becoming a professional tourist city. The reason Manh Truong praised it was because a few years ago he also brought his friends from abroad to Phan Thiet but was criticized because in addition to the beautiful coastline and rich landscapes, there were no places to shop and have fun. But this time in Phan Thiet, everything seemed to be completely different because the tourist areas were invested in more professionally. Some new places like Novaworld have places to walk around, shop, watch the sea and also have quite attractive water parks. In Manh Truong's tour group, there was Ms. Maria, a real estate specialist, who came to Phan Thiet to both relax and research the market and was quite excited to see the number of tourists coming to Phan Thiet on the occasion of the 2/9 holiday. She said: Phan Thiet has its own unique features compared to domestic and international tourist destinations. It is a beautiful coastline, ideal weather, fresh air because there are no industrial parks in the city center, there are financially strong corporations investing in complexes, so it will be a premise to attract international visitors. The characteristics of Phan Thiet are festivals and cuisine, Phan Thiet must organize these events more often so that tourists are "forced" to return to this coastal city many times... According to Ms. Maria, she thinks so because her group stayed in Phan Thiet for 4 days but was not "satisfied", when returning to France, the people in the group shared pictures and information about Phan Thiet with associations and groups, making many friends and colleagues "addicted" to asking a lot of questions from the price of the trip to the places of entertainment, sightseeing to the specialties. "Just left Phan Thiet for a few days but already miss it, so this New Year, my friends and I will go to Phan Thiet for a longer trip because Phan Thiet is so attractive...", Ms. Maria said.

There are many stories in tourism development that only tourists... know. That is the story of the Binh Minh group, this is a group of friends connecting the provinces and cities of Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, specializing in real estate brokerage but with the same interests in traveling and cuisine. Thanh was the one who brought the group to Phan Thiet a few years ago, so that every year the group has to go to Phan Thiet at least twice. Since the beginning of the year, the group has been to Phan Thiet 3 times but still has plans to go to Phan Thiet 2 more times, which are on New Year's Day and Lunar New Year. Thanh said: Our group is very "strange", some people are addicted to hotpot with anchovies, some like grilled scallops with scallion oil and garlic-fried crab claws, some are addicted to banh can with eggs served with mackerel, braised silver pomfret with tamarind sauce... 15 people in the group, each person likes a different style but refuses to eat in other provinces and cities, only Phan Thiet is the right place, the right taste...

For Dat, a businessman in Binh Duong, Phan Thiet is like a "memory" in his heart. Whenever he has the chance, he takes his family to Phan Thiet to swim and relax. There was a time when he gave 100 of his workers a week-long trip to Phan Thiet. Dat confided: Phan Thiet attracts tourists because it retains the wildness of areas that need to be preserved such as: Hong Hill, Hon Rom, Suoi Tien, Mui Ne fishing village. This is a place for tourists who like something quiet. As for tourists who like the hustle and bustle, in the city center or in Tien Thanh, there is a modern urban area and complex for sightseeing and exploration...

Phan Thiet is doing its part by organizing the National Tourism Year – “Binh Thuan Green Convergence”. Entertainment programs, festivals, fairs, cuisine… have really brought a new breeze, contributing to attracting more and more tourists. And among the millions of tourists coming to Phan Thiet, there are many who remember Phan Thiet and will come back next time….
