In recent years, tourism in Binh Thuan has continuously grown in both quality and quantity, becoming one of the most attractive destinations in the South Central region. Possessing a prime location just about 2 hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City, along with pristine natural scenery and many attractive local experiences, Ke Ga Cape deserves to be a top tourist destination in Binh Thuan. However, to develop in proportion to its potential and advantages, much work remains to be done to further promote and advertise Ke Ga, establishing its reputation and becoming a destination for travel enthusiasts.
“After 30 years of development, Binh Thuan has now earned a place among the top 10 outstanding tourist provinces in Vietnam. Binh Thuan's coastal tourism has become a brand on the world tourism map,” affirmed Mr. Bui The Nhan, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Binh Thuan. He added that, situated within the key tourism triangle of the Southern region, including Ho Chi Minh City - Vung Tau - Phan Thiet, the driving time from Ho Chi Minh City to Ke Ga is only about 2 hours. Along with directly benefiting from a series of other key infrastructure projects, Ke Ga possesses a decisive advantage in attracting a huge number of tourists from Ho Chi Minh City and the Southern provinces. Located between Long Thanh Airport and Phan Thiet, Ke Ga also has the potential to attract tourists from the Northern provinces of Vietnam and international visitors. The locality is also planned to become Binh Thuan's second "resort capital" after Mui Ne.
Azerai Ke Ga Bay is a luxury resort overlooking a 5km long beach and the Ke Ga Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam.
According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Tho, Head of the Culture and Information Department of Ham Thuan Nam District, Ke Ga possesses unique strengths bestowed by nature, such as: pristine and safe beaches; famous scenic spots and historical relics such as Ta Cu Mountain, Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda, Bung Thi hot springs, Da Nhay beach, Thầy Thím shrine, Ke Ga lighthouse, vast salt fields, and dragon fruit orchards… and a remarkably distinctive local culture. These are excellent conditions to attract domestic and international tourists, extending their stay, increasing spending, and encouraging them to return multiple times to explore the beauty of the region.
As the third hotel of the Azerai Group in Vietnam, officially opening in November 2020, Azerai Ke Ga Bay is one of the pioneering establishments bringing international standard 5-star service to middle and upper-class travelers in Ham Thuan Nam. Through this, it contributes to promoting Ke Ga as an attractive destination through local experiences steeped in Vietnamese culture to both domestic and international tourists.
Home to Vietnam's oldest lighthouse, Ke Ga offers authentic experiences steeped in local culture.
Mr. Julian Moore, General Manager of Azerai Ke Ga Bay, said: “Located on the beautiful beach overlooking Ke Ga Bay, just 500 meters from Vietnam’s oldest lighthouse, Azerai Ke Ga Bay is not only an ideal destination for wellness holidays, connecting with pristine nature and relaxing amidst lush gardens, but also provides an opportunity for visitors to easily explore the tranquil fishing village life of the local people. With dedication, vision, and community responsibility, Azerai Ke Ga Bay wishes to continue working together with local departments and agencies to promote the sustainable development of tourism in Ke Ga, so that it truly becomes an impressive and attractive ‘must-go’ destination for domestic and international tourists.”
“In recent years, Vietnamese people have tended to prefer short trips, so to save time and optimize their experience, travel enthusiasts often choose destinations about 2-3 hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City. The overwhelming number of short vacations has boosted the development of tourist areas near Ho Chi Minh City; among them, Ke Ga is a key area with the potential to attract a large number of visitors. Besides its advantages in natural scenery, Ke Ga is also an attractive destination with many luxurious resorts or modern entertainment, shopping, and water sports complexes… fully meeting the needs of relaxation, exploration, and experiences for people of all ages. That is why Ke Ga has become a promising destination not only for tourists but also for travel companies,” Mr. Bui The Nhan shared.
