At a press conference held in HCMC last week, Nguyen Quang Toan, director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the province's tourism resources with old forests, waterfalls, lakes, historical and cultural sites, festivals and cultures of ethnic minority groups can be developed into special tourism products.

Six major tourism projects will be introduced at the forthcoming conference, including Suoi Cam Lake in Dong Xoai Town and the Ba Ra-Thac Mo tourist site in Phuoc Long Town, the Mien Ta Thiet military base in Loc Ninh District, the project of preserving cultural villages in Bu Dang District, the ecological tourist site in Bu Gia Map National Park and the ecological tourist site at Hoa Lu Border Gate.

According to Toan, the government of Binh Phuoc Province has paid more attention to tourism. However, the provincial tourism has still had difficulties as projects are being implemented and have yet to come into operation.
