In 1997, Vietnam refused the ‘James Bond – Tomorrow Never Dies’ film crew. The event then caused a shock to the Asian film industry because Vietnam was the only country in the world which rejected such a large-scale film project. 

However, things will be different with Kong: Skull Island. Quang Binh provincial authorities understand that the filming in the province is a golden opportunity for them to attract more travelers. 

Therefore, they have been following a professional plan to promote tourism. It has launched an ad clip about Quang Binh with introductions by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The local authorities also negotiated with the film crew about the putting up of statues of Kong’s arms in three filming spots – Yen Phu Lake, Cha Noi Valley and Chuot Cave in Minh Hoa district.

Quang Binh has also signed a contract with TripAdvisor to promote tourism. Meanwhile, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) has chosen Jordan Vogt-Roberts as Vietnam’s Tourism Ambassador.

Located on the "Central Heritage Road", Quang Binh is a province with great potential for tourism development, with 116 kilometers of unspoiled seashore with beautiful beaches, suitable to resorts, high-end entertainment complexes. Phong Nha Grotto, 50 kilometers northwest of Dong Hoi town, is one of the most beautiful grottoes in Vietnam. 

The New York Times ranks Quang Binh eighth out of 52 most attractive destination points in the world and the first out of 12 most attractive destination points in Asia.

Vietnamese real estate developers, recently having realized the great potential of Quang Binh, have begun pouring capital into infrastructure and resorts projects there.

Truong Thinh became the pioneer in exploiting the great potential in Quang Binh when it built the first high-end resort in the locality. Sun Spa Resort, with 234 5-star rooms, 10 bungalows and 12 villas on Bao Ninh Peninsula, was put into operation in 2004.

Quang Binh, the land in Vietnam’s central region, is expected to have a new life as it has become the homeland of Kong and the area where many big real estate groups have landed. 

Truong Thinh is also the owner of Dong Thien Duong (Paradise Cave), an ecotourism complex put into operation in 2002. 

Quang Binh has many other mid-end real estate resort projects, including the 6.3 hectare 3-star Bao Ninh Beach Resort in Dong Hoi City, built in 2012, Sunrise Quang Binh, Riverside Quang Binh and Sai Gon Quang Binh.

However, Quang Binh is expecting huge projects to be developed by the ‘big guys’ such as FLC, Muong Thanh and Vingroup.

FLC kicked off a super project on resort, villas and high-end entertainment facilities in Hai Ninh and Hong Thuy communes in April 2016, the largest infrastructure tourism project in the northern and central regions of Vietnam.
