Hoang Tuan Anh-New Minister of Ministry of Culture, information , and tourism

He said, “As far as I am concerned, tourist routes alone on National Road 20, Dong Nai Province have some popular addresses such as Cat Tien national forest, Mai waterfall area, hot water lake (belongs to Tan Phu Afforestation Yard, Dinh Quan District).Places above are just about 90 kilometers or so away from Hochiminh City making advantage for tours to Dalat, city of flower. Besides, There are also picnic sites attracting a lot of visitors, for example, War Zone D, Tri An lake, Tan Trieu pomelo Village,.. Therefore, the province has to  build strategy to cooperate and attract tourism enterprises in Hochiminh City such as Lua Viet, Vietravel,… to take domestic and international tourists to Vietnam. At present, Dong nai has 22 Industrial parks with over 300,000 labours and thousands of technical specialists and foreign investors working in Dong Nai. However, most of  those labors work here but they go to another place to for pleasure and recreation. It is clear that Dong Nai lacks playing sites suitable for every subjects. In my opinion, if functional departments often organize and make advantage for employees to have picnic tours to tourism routes available in the province , the chance of appealing to investment and development in this field will certainly be your hand.

An distinctive advantage of Dong Nai Province that few places have is potentiality of forestry tourism. Particularly, Cat Tien national Forest was acknowledged by UNESCO as a world biosphere reservation area. This is one of Dong Nai’s strong points that should be taken advantage to be open for the people all over the world to know. Addition to it, charming river and ponds and lakes and waterways in Dong Nai Province  can also contribute to tourism development. Noticeably, Tri An lake has enough potentiality to develop water surface tourism like sailing, underwater games. I really think that Dong Nai has a lot of advantages that few places have. Hence, in coming time, especially in 2010,Tourism development in Dong Nai should match with the position of an industrial province in Southern key economic zone and because if tourism works effectively, profits from it will not be less than those from another key industry.”
