Culinary culture and folk songs can be developed into the tourism brand of Vinh city. Build a model of a modern and smart tourist city based on technology; pay special attention to hygiene, food safety and tourism development in parallel with environmental sustainability.

Focus on improving the quality of tourism human resources.
