Moreover, the planning must present a vision that tourism is an integrated economic sector, pioneering and promoting other sectors to green transformation, he said.
Regarding the need to identify tourism areas and hubs, Ha said that it is necessary to expand the "one road, multi-destinations" model by connecting complementary product chains.
He also suggested orientations to develop markets, products, and criteria for forming national tourism centers and indicators to evaluate the overall economic efficiency of the industry.

Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung said that Vietnam strives to become an attractive destination with high development potential in the world by 2025.
It’s expected that by 2030, tourism will become a key economic sector with sustainable development in Vietnam, and the country will thrive to turn itself into a destination with leading development capacity in the world.
Until 2045, tourism will affirm its role as an economic driver, making Vietnam an outstanding global destination in the group of leading tourism developing countries in the Asia-Pacific.
Along with domestic and international market development orientations, Vietnam will develop main product lines including marine tourism, local cultural values, eco-tourism, tourism products associated with economic, cultural, and political-social centers, and new types of tourism.
A total investment of about 4 trillion VND (190 billion USD) is needed to boost the country’s tourism, the minister said, adding that priorities will be given to remove bottlenecks and deal with weaknesses in Vietnam's tourism.
