Vietnamese beaches

 Interesting articles appearing mentioning not a single Vietnamese beach appears in the list of World's 50 Best Beaches 2025. Despite having over 3,260 km of coastline and more than 4,000 islands we may consider a topic open for discussion considering Thailand or Philippines shown on mentioned list.


Few considerations to this lack of recognition for Vietnam according to some tourism related peers:

❇️ Little destination recognition.
🏗️ Reduced beach infrastructure in destinations.
🏖️ Lack of distinctive beaches.
♻️ A proper sustainability expansion and tourism footprint aligned with strategic planning is required, a better marketing international campaign is needed.
🎯 Coordination between public & private sector is a must and actual 2025 stage is minimal.
🏞️ Despite last year's large transformation the social sustainability is lagging behind this success.
🏨 Massive hotel room inventory vs local involved mixture in tourism spots.

The new XXI century traveller is looking for authentic destinations, wide option of products and easy access to them. The adaptability of the country to consider a proper plan and posterior implementation had been on the table for years and competition with other spots is much larger these days...
