In addition to Phu Quoc, a famous destination for domestic and international tourists, An Giang is also aiming to promote the exploitation of terrain advantages and develop other types of tourism.
Recently, the province organized a Nui Cam tourism development conference, thereby contributing many opinions to the development of this type in the coming time.
According to the An Giang Tourism Association, it is necessary to develop a system of products and services to serve tourists at Nui Cam Tourist Area. In terms of potential, Nui Cam - known as the "roof of the Mekong Delta" with a height of 710m, cool climate all year round, majestic natural landscape - is a leading spiritual and ecological destination in the Mekong Delta.
According to the report of the Management Board of Nui Cam Tourist Area, this place welcomes a very large number of tourists but low revenue. The reason is the lack of many diverse experiential service products, leading to short-term accommodation, limited revenue, and nighttime economy.
Mr. Nguyen Vu Khac Huy - Chairman of An Giang Tourism Association - shared that the main difficulties currently existing are the lack of products and services such as not having many high-quality entertainment activities, restaurants, and resorts. Still high seasonal activity; infrastructure is not synchronized in terms of roads, facilities do not meet needs, especially long-term staying guests.
There is a problem of motorbike transportation in some places where soliciting and overloading occur, posing potential safety risks and affecting the image of destinations.
Limited human resources, community awareness of sustainable tourism is not high. Transportation is not convenient to connect routes and points, regional linkages and has not attracted international tourists.
To overcome and develop sustainably, the Tourism Association proposes to diversify products and services, invest more in entertainment, restaurants, resorts, homestays, herbal spa, glamping (high-class camping)... to extend the length of stay. At the same time, build and develop night economy, cultural and culinary areas.
The business proposed to attract international tourists with the way of making slogans, symbols, and the Nui Cam tourism development project with the theme "An Giang rivers and mountains are charming - a resort paradise".
Accommodation facilities need to be standardized. In addition, upgrade infrastructure and diversify products. Develop spiritual products (worshiping pagodas, Buddha statues), ecology (trekking, watching flood season), culture (connecting festivals with Sam Mountain).
From mountain ups and downs, creating favorable conditions for long-term guests to stay, visit the surrounding area and then return to Nui Cam for relaxation. Regional linkage and investment attraction. Building the That Son - Nui Sam - Ha Tien - Phu Quoc linkage route; encouraging the community to participate, train to raise awareness, and develop green tourism to reduce crop seasons.
The Tourism Association also proposed to the province to call for more investment in entertainment services, restaurants, and high-quality resorts on Cam Mountain. Organize promotion and advertising of Cam Mountain tourism to attract investment and international partners.
Mr. Nguyen Vu Khac Huy said that the tourism exploitation potential of Nui Cam is very large, such as spiritual tourism, experiential tourism, health care tourism, specialized tourism... After the conference of the Provincial People's Committee, the Tourism Association immediately deployed famtrips, inviting tourism businesses in the South to survey and grasp routes and points to build and exploit to welcome domestic and foreign tourists.
“In the near future, we will launch the Bay Nui Tourism Association, both creating an environment for businesses to operate and live, and sharing and offering solutions and products to help tourism develop more. To exploit well and effectively, there also needs to be a large-scale investor, exploiting a suitable type of tourism, based on local cultural identity, so that people can participate together, it will create sustainable value,” Mr. Huy expressed.
In the first quarter of 2026, An Giang province is estimated to welcome more than 8.2 million tourist arrivals (up 14.7% compared to the same period, reaching 33.1% of the annual plan), of which more than 829,000 international visitors (up 70.1% compared to the same period, reaching 39.1% of the annual plan). Total revenue from tourism is estimated at more than 21,400 billion VND (up 52.6% compared to the same period, reaching 30.6% of the annual plan).
