New tourism stimulus program unveiled in Ca Mau

Aimed at motivating domestic tourism, a promising tourism stimulus program was launched in Ca Mau in early 2025.

Named “Ca Mau - Destination of 2025,” this event encompasses a variety of activities, including a marathon race, the Nghinh Ong (whale worshiping) Festival, an exhibition showcasing local products, cultural and artistic performances, and farm trips to local tourism areas as part of a plan to promote agritourism.

Following the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of tourists visiting Ca Mau in 2021 saw a significant decline, leading to a much-needed push for recovery. By 2025, tourism in Ca Mau has started to rebound, with revenues gradually increasing as safety measures and vaccination programs have successfully addressed previous concerns.

Currently, numerous hotels and travel agencies in the area are providing attractive discounts to encourage visits. Entrance to The Ca Mau Cape area is offered free of charge to teachers and students nationwide, further promoting educational tourism.

Thanks to its increasingly advanced infrastructure, Ca Mau—the southernmost province of Vietnam—has developed two major tourist zones and 14 community-based ecotourism sites. The most popular attractions in Ca Mau include U Minh Ha National Park, Hon Da Bac, Mui Ca Mau National Park, and the Dat Mui Tourist Site, among others.

This program represents a collective effort by the province to harness its tourism potential while effectively addressing the ongoing recovery from previous challenges.
