PHÚ YÊN — The night-time economy and tourism are still fledgling in the Phú Hòa Province capital Tuy Hòa, but the city expects they will provide a fillip to its economy.
Many tourists complain that the city shuts down too early in the evening and they have few places to visit.
Lê Thảo Trang, a tourist from HCM City, said most shops in the downtown area close by 10pm.
Nguyễn Văn Khang, a tourist from Đà Nẵng, said the city should introduce more night-time activities such as art performances at popular tourist destination Nhạn Tower, keep beachfront bars and clubs open until 3am and have 24/7 cafes.
Hồ Văn Tiến, chairman of the Phú Yên Tourism Association, admitted there is a dearth of night-time activities for tourists and what night markets the city has are too broad and lack focus.
He called for creating night markets with local specialities and unique experiences like playing stone xylophones and sampling tuna dishes.
The city People's Committee has issued a pilot programme to develop the night-time economy, focusing on tourism, from 2024 to 2030.
In 2024-25 it will see night markets and bars remain open until early morning.
Điện Biên Phủ and Hùng Vương streets, Lê Trung Kiên and Phan Lưu Thanh pedestrian plazas and attractions such as Nhạn Tower, April 1 Square and Nghinh Phong Tower will be open until 11pm.
It will enhance and refurbish existing facilities and build new ones to develop the night-time economy at a cost of around VNĐ60 billion.
In the 2026-30 period the city will organise a wide range of activities and art performances at Sơn Lake.
In the evening visitors can go on city tours between 6pm and 11pm in electric vehicles and double-decker buses and boat tours, and visit Nguyễn Văn Huyên Book Street.
Investments of around VNĐ670 billion will be solicited in major projects and amusement and leisure areas.
Nguyễn Quốc Thắng, deputy chairman of the People's Committee, said the project would aid the development of night-time tourism.
