Improving the quality of tourist attraction

Beyond its role in preserving historical values ​​and serving research purposes, the Management Board of the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee Base during the anti-American war is gradually becoming a place for learning, propaganda, and education , as well as an attractive tourist destination.

Students from Phan Thiet City visit the historical site.

Traveling from Phan Thiet City up to the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee Base during the anti-American war, located in Dong Giang commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, about 65 km away, everyone in the tour group shared a peaceful feeling of a fresh weekend morning as soon as they stepped off the bus. Amidst the spacious area of ​​over 10 hectares, the intertwined tree canopies provided shade, making every corner feel pleasant. Perhaps this is why the number of visitors to the site for study, research, and experience continued to increase in 2024. According to the Management Board of the site, they welcomed 215 groups with over 17,000 visitors that year (reaching 171% of the target). Besides students, trainees, and youth union members from within the province, there were also tourism companies from Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh Duong, Tay Ninh, and Lam Dong provinces…
