With the natural advantage of forest on one side and sea on the other, Ho Tram has caught the eye of many domestic and international tourism brands. After the merger, Ho Tram is oriented to develop into an international-class sea tourism center, becoming the new tourism "capital" of Ho Chi Minh City.

Investors and travel businesses choose
According to experts, the attraction of Ho Tram commune, Ho Chi Minh City comes from two core factors: The unique natural beauty of the forest-sea ecosystem typical of Vietnam and its strategic location. Separated from residential areas, Ho Tram is surrounded by the ocean and the 11,000-hectare Phuoc Buu primeval forest.
Mr. Nguyen Tuc, Vice Chairman of Ho Tram Commune People's Committee, Ho Chi Minh City said: "In Ho Tram Commune, there are currently 41 tourism projects approved for investment with an area of about 660.52 hectares, of which 12 tourism projects have been put into operation with an area of about 295.18 hectares and a total investment of more than 5.5 billion USD; 24 projects are under construction, completing investment procedures with a total investment of about 1.8 billion USD and 5 projects are calling for investment with a total investment of about 3 billion USD".

From the above figures, it can be affirmed that the strong development of Ho Tram not only comes from the natural landscape but also from a series of large-scale tourism investment projects pouring in here. Projects in the commune are developed and operated by prestigious international real estate corporations and hotel management brands, ensuring 4-5 star service quality and amenities such as: Le Palmier Ho Tram, Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort, Madison Ho Tram, Wonderland Ho Tram, Camelina Beach Resort, Charm Ho Tram, Hyatt Regency Ho Tram Residences...

Mr. Truong Tan Dat, General Manager of Le Palmier Ho Tram Resort, Ho Tram Commune, Ho Chi Minh City said: "Our resort will operate from June 2022 with 44 condotel rooms and 12 separate villas, with full amenities such as restaurants, swimming pools, spas, children's play areas, outdoor BBQ areas and private beaches meeting 4-star standards. We chose Ho Tram for investment because it has all the elements of an ideal resort destination: close to the center of Ho Chi Minh City, with forests and seas. The climate is pleasant all year round, the adjacent primeval forest is very suitable for resort tourism, wellness and nature experiences. I believe that when the infrastructure is completed and sustainable planning is maintained, Ho Tram will become the new sea tourism capital of the Southern region."

Recently, The Grand Ho Tram complex has poured an additional 1 billion USD to develop a new subdivision, raising the total investment capital to 4 billion USD. The project expands by more than 35 hectares, including a 5-star hotel, luxury resort villas, a casino, an entertainment center, an international conference and exhibition center with more than 6,000 rooms, capable of serving 18,000 visitors per day.
Mr. Walt Power, General Director of The Grand Ho Tram, Ho Tram Commune, Ho Chi Minh City said: "This project is a continuation of the items of The Grand Ho Tram. In the coming time, we will deploy more component projects to meet the increasing demand for tourism. We prioritize development in areas with beautiful beaches and Ho Tram meets that very well."

Mr. Le Hong Tu, Director of BT Tour Community Tourism and Event Organization Company Limited, Ho Chi Minh City, commented: "Ho Tram has many potential services: hotels, golf courses, eco-tourism... After merging with Ho Chi Minh City to form a tourism cluster, along with a complete connecting infrastructure, it will promote international visitors to Ho Tram, shorten travel time and stimulate tourism demand."
Mr. Cao Xuan Tung, Director of the Domestic Tourism Center of Ben Thanh Tourism Joint Stock Company, Ho Chi Minh City, said: "Ho Tram has a lot of potential. Previously, tourism companies mainly exploited sea tourism. However, Binh Chau - Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve is very attractive to tourists who like to experience forest ecology."

Developing smart, green and sustainable tourism
The goal in the coming period is that Ho Tram tourism must attract 8-10 million visitors/year (of which 30-40% are international visitors), aiming to build a smart, green and sustainable tourism ecosystem.
Mr. Nguyen Tuc added: "Ho Tram commune will continue to attract international visitors through increased promotion, linking hotel businesses with travel agencies and improving infrastructure and services; organizing music, sports, beauty pageant, culinary events...; investing in marine sports activities such as windsurfing, scuba diving, boat racing to attract young people. At the same time, the locality will increase transparency in land and prices, ensure security and order; urge the Department of Construction to complete connecting traffic routes such as DT 994, expressway connecting roads, Ring Road 4 and Long Thanh - Ho Tram route".

Businesses also proactively create products to attract customers. Mr. Walt Power said: "We maintain a special event every week such as music concerts, martial arts competitions, fashion shows or sports... to create reasons for tourists to return to Ho Tram."
From a management perspective, Ms. Nguyen Thi Le, Deputy Head of the Accommodation Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, commented: "Ho Tram is a key area for developing sea and ecological resort tourism. The Department is developing a project to develop city tourism, in which it will re-evaluate the potential of Ho Tram and develop a system of products such as high-end resorts, ecology, night tourism and community tourism."
