One journey - many experiences
Previously, when people mentioned Lam Dong , they immediately thought of the cool climate of Da Lat, the tea hills of Bao Loc, pine forests, waterfalls, and lush green ecological spaces. But now, Lam Dong officially has a coastline, stretching from Mui Ne, Ham Tien, Ke Ga to La Gi, Tuy Phong… Besides its pristine coastal landscapes and traditional fishing villages, this coastal region also preserves the Cham Pa cultural heritage, coral reef ecosystems, natural sand dunes, and abundant marine resources.
In just a few hours' travel, visitors can start their day watching the sunrise in Mui Ne, enjoy fresh seafood in Phan Thiet, chase the clouds in Da Phu Hill in the afternoon, and have a campfire in the pine forest of Ta Nung in the evening. With an increasingly improved transportation system, especially the Dau Giay - Phan Thiet expressway, National Highways 28 and 55, and other inter-regional connecting routes, traveling between these ecological areas has become more convenient than ever. Lam Dong now boasts not only beautiful beaches, but also primeval forests, natural lakes, majestic waterfalls, tea hills, coffee plantations, a cool climate, and the unique cultural identity of ethnic minorities…
Ms. Le Minh Trang, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, shared: “I’ve been to Da Lat many times, but when I learned that Lam Dong now offers a combination of Mui Ne beach and Ta Dung forest in one trip, I tried it and was truly surprised. Swimming in the sea in the morning, chasing clouds in the afternoon, and sleeping in the forest at night – no other place offers such a diverse experience!”

Many travel companies have noted a significant increase in combined "beach-mountain-forest" tours, targeting tourists who enjoy exploring the ecosystem and experiencing local culture. Mr. Tran Minh Dung, a representative of a travel agency in Da Lat, commented: "Lam Dong is a rare locality that can simultaneously develop beach, forest, and mountain tourism . Nowhere else has such a rich ecosystem. If properly exploited, this could become a strategic destination at the national, or even international, level."
Lam Dong province is currently shifting from a "isolated locality" model to an integrated, regionally linked approach that shares advantages. Tourism centers such as Da Lat, Phan Thiet, Gia Nghia, La Gi, and Bao Loc are no longer separate destinations, but are being designed as interconnected satellite hubs, supporting each other in terms of accommodation, services, communication, and logistics. To realize the regional tourism strategy, according to tourism industry experts, Lam Dong needs to focus on three pillars. Specifically, infrastructure needs to be synchronized, prioritizing connections via expressways, tourist ports, airports, and inter-regional coastal-mountain routes; coordination with travel agencies and accommodation establishments to develop inter-regional tourism products; and tourism development based on local culture: traditional craft villages, folk festivals, and ethnic minority heritage.
With its diverse natural potential and unique geographical location, Lam Dong is poised to become a leading ecotourism center in the South, targeting long-stay tourists with high demands and an environmentally friendly approach. To achieve this, a comprehensive investment in infrastructure, human resources, resource conservation, and most importantly, a tripartite coordination mechanism involving the State, businesses, and the community is essential.
The southeastern region of Lam Dong province has over 300 active tourism projects, covering a total land area of over 5,600 hectares; 210 projects are already operational. The accommodation system comprises 663 establishments with more than 20,000 rooms; the wards of Mui Ne, Phu Thuy, and Tien Thanh alone have dozens of 3- to 5-star hotels. There are 33 travel agencies, including 13 international ones. Combining modern infrastructure with unique coastal resources, this area is becoming a key center for beach and resort tourism in Lam Dong.
