Since March 15, The Cliff Resort & Residences has welcomed more than 60 foreign visitors.
According to Vice Director of The Cliff Resort & Residences Vo Thuy Loan, the facility only served domestic visitors and foreigners who are living and working in Vietnam in the last two years.
The return of international arrivals, especially large groups, is a good signal for Mui Ne in particular and Binh Thuan in general, she added.
Meanwhile, Aroma Resort in Phan Thiet city has served over 20 foreigners from the UK, Belgium, France and Russia, since the resort resumed its activities.

According to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, all recent arrivals to Mui Ne will create a premise for the locality’s tourism industry to gradually revive in the coming time.
Besides building programmes to stimulate domestic tourism demand, travel firms in Binh Thuan expand connections with international travel businesses to re-start existing tours, and open new ones to attract more foreign arrivals.
In the first four months of 2022, Binh Thuan welcomed nearly 1.4 million tourists, earning about 2.7 trillion VND (over 116.5 million USD) in revenue.
