locality.
The MCST urged Khanh Hoa to improve state management in tourism, create
favourable conditions for businesses to participate in the activities, ensure
political security and social order and safety and protect the
environment.
There will be three major events, including the opening ceremony scheduled for
late 2018, the Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa sea festival in May 2019 and the closing
ceremony in late 2019.
Highlights of the programme will be beauty pageants like Miss Universe Vietnam

Khanh Hoa, with a coast of more than 380 km and hundreds of islands and islets,
and a sunny year-long climate, has many advantages for tourism, especially

natural masterpieces.
Khanh Hoa’s tourism sector has experienced a breakthrough in recent years. The
number of tourists to the province has enjoyed average expansion of 15 percent
