Illustrative Examples: Old Routes, New Structure
Northern Vietnam: Hanoi – Ninh Binh – Ha Long
- Before: Three separate provinces (Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh)
- After: May be grouped under a new administrative region (e.g., “Bac Trung Hung” – provisional name) Benefit: Simplified permits and logistics, allowing for smoother tour coordination across destinations
Central Vietnam: Hue – Da Nang – Hoi An – Quang Ngai
- Before: Four provinces with separate administrative procedures
- After: Potentially merged as a “Central Heritage Tourism Cluster” Benefit: Visitors can experience ancient Hue, the charming town of Hoi An, and My Khe beach all in one integrated itinerary
Central Highlands: Gia Lai – Dak Lak – Lam Dong
- After restructuring: May be grouped into an administrative region such as the “Green Highlands” (provisional name)
- Benefit: Easier inter-provincial travel across the Central Highlands and Da Lat with streamlined procedure.
