Summer tourism is booming thanks to the holiday season.

The April 30th - May 1st, 2026 holiday period took place under a unique circumstance with Lien Khuong Airport temporarily closed for upgrades, yet tourism activities in the province remained stable, preventing any market disruption.

In practice, Lam Dong's tourism industry has demonstrated proactive and timely adaptation, as well as flexibility in regulating visitor flows and organizing activities.

Unlike previous years, this year's visitor numbers are not concentrated too heavily in the city center but are more evenly distributed, shifting towards suburban areas, eco-tourism destinations, agricultural tourism, and experiential tourism.

Lam Dong province is increasingly developing a diverse range of tourism products to meet the needs of tourists.

Occupancy rates at many accommodations remain at a fairly high level, commonly ranging from 70-80%, with some areas exceeding 80%, reflecting the attractiveness of tourism products associated with nature and open spaces.

Tourism trends continue to shift towards prioritizing experiences and personalization. Tourists are increasingly choosing vacation products that combine relaxation with exploration and local experiences; there is a growing trend towards small group and family travel; and the use of personal transportation, especially cars, allows for more control over their itineraries.

Synchronizing solutions to reach the 25 million visitor target.

Based on market realities, Lam Dong province is implementing a comprehensive set of solutions aimed at attracting over 25 million tourists in 2026, contributing to the successful achievement of the province's double-digit growth target.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Loc, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lam Dong province, in the context of the temporary closure of Lien Khuong Airport, the tourism industry has proactively shifted its strategy to exploiting the road travel market, strengthening regional linkages and developing products that suit new consumer trends.

Accordingly, key solutions have been clearly identified and implemented in a coordinated and effective manner. First and foremost is the promotion of tourism stimulus programs linked to improving service quality.

In particular, in recent years, the province has focused on developing distinctive tourism products with high added value, such as ecotourism, resort tourism, high-tech agriculture, and community tourism associated with the cultural identity of ethnic groups.

This direction aligns with the trend of developing green and sustainable tourism, contributing to enhancing the competitiveness of the destination.

New tourism products are being developed with a focus on differentiation and enhancing the customer experience.

According to the Lam Dong Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, one of the strategic solutions is to strengthen regional linkages and form interconnected tourism routes between the highlands, coastal areas, and the Central Highlands.

This expands development opportunities, diversifies products, and extends the length of stay for tourists. These linked products not only attract new tourists but also enhance market exploitation efficiency.
