Some innovative ideas have been acknowledged by corporations like Sun Group; some ideas are still being developed in Phu Quoc and other provinces. This has shown the awareness and macro-thinking of the Vietnamese people when working on the tourism product development strategy. And I believe that the reputation of Vietnam's tourism will rise to new heights".
