A passion for Nhatrang city

Nha Trang is a peaceful city, from its weather to its people. It has been an attraction in central Vietnam for a long time, with a growth rate in the number of tourists arriving of around 16% a year in recent years.
People often dubbed Nha Trang “the City of beauty” or “the City of Misses”, because it has hosted various beauty contests, national and international. They are the Vietnam Beauty Contest 2006, The Beauty Contest for Vietnamese worldwide 2007, Miss Universe - Earth 2007, Miss Universe Vietnam 2008. Despite various difficulties in organizing big events, all the contests have been successful. The city is preparing to host the Miss World 2010, the biggest event of this kind globally.
Not just the land for the beauty, Nha Trang has various other things to offer. Many other national events are being held here, ranging from conferences, cultural and sporting events, campaigns, etc.

The Nha Trang Sea Festival is one such event. Held every 2 year, the event is considered as a major festival by the locals. In 2009, local authority is planning for such a festival, and they have already planned to invite art troupes from various countries and territories to exchange with local art troupes, to give audience a feast of art.
Nha Trang has great potential for MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibition) tourism. Therefore, the city is upgrading its infrastructure in order to best realize its potential. Ports, airports, roads, telecommunications, banking systems, etc., are all being upgraded to international standards. The local authority is gaining more and more experience in hosting big events, while the local people are getting used to welcoming tourists. In 10 years’ time, the city envisions to be the centre for economics, science, and education for the south central and central highlands region, and is a tourism hub. It will also serve as a hub for the whole central region, and be a focal economic and transportation point.
The provincial authority will focus all human and material resources to develop the city faster so that it can integrate itself better in the regional economy. At the same time, the city should preserve its own culture, nature and traditions so as to be a tourism hub in the central region. Besides, it has also developed solutions to increase the people’s awareness in urban development and environment, to keep the city clean, civilised and friendly.
The city is adjusting itself to make it better, and to make any travelling experience to the city a memorable one.
