Quang Tri Province (Qu\u1ea3ng Tr\u1ecb), located in central Vietnam, is drawing attention from travelers worldwide as a newpremium marine resort area.<\/strong>The \"Cua Tung (C\u1eeda T\u00f9ng),<\/strong>\u300d\u300cCua Viet (C\u1eeda Vi\u1ec7t),<\/strong>\u300d\u300cand Con Co Island (C\u1ed3n C\u1ecf)\"<\/strong>\"marine-tourism golden triangle\" connecting these three baseshas started in earnest,<\/em>and with Quang Tri Airport also slated to open in 2026, an access revolution is about to arrive.<\/p>\n

The triangle's vertices: three distinctive marine spots<\/h2>\n

Cua Tung \u2014 a legendary sandy beach once called the \"queen of beaches\"<\/h3>\n

Located 35km north of Dong Ha (the former Quang Tri City), Cua Tung is a storied beach granted the title of the \"queen of beaches\"<\/strong>as a French-colonial-era summer retreat in the early 20th century. Characterized by fine white sand and a gentle slope, it was once known as one of the finest resort beaches on the Indochina Peninsula. In recent years it has been affected by coastal erosion, but a full-fledged revival is anticipated under the provincial authorities' redevelopment plan.<\/p>\n

Cua Viet \u2014 a distinctive topography woven by river and sea<\/h3>\n

Located 15km south of Cua Tung, Cua Viet spreads across the mouth of the Thach Han River (Th\u1ea1ch H\u00e3n). Its appeal is thesmooth sandy beach<\/strong>formed by the mixing of river and sea currents, and it also has good access as a gateway to the East-West Economic Corridor. Thanks to its location near the Dong Ha urban area, the development of tourism infrastructure is also progressing rapidly.<\/p>\n

Con Co Island \u2014 a treasure trove of marine life and a special economic zone<\/h3>\n

Con Co Island has been designated by the Vietnamese government as aspecial economic zone,<\/strong>with tourism carryingover 70% of the island's economy.<\/strong>Known for its rich marine biodiversity and strict environmental conservation, it's valued as one of the few spots where you can dive coral reefs and observe rare sea turtles. Its development policy, excluding mass tourism entirely and centering on premium experiential tourism, is also drawing international attention.<\/p>\n

The biggest topic of 2026: Quang Tri Airport is slated to open<\/h2>\n

Midway between Cua Tung and Cua Viet, about 30km from Con Co Island, theQuang Tri Airport<\/strong>under construction, is slated to open within 2026. This will realize direct flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, bringing travel to Quang Tri Province \u2014 long an access challenge \u2014 much closer. From Japan, a visit via one or two connections through Vietnam's major cities is expected to become possible.<\/p>\n

The development concept specializes in \"excluding mass tourism\" and \"high-value-added experiences,\" with premium boutique villas and eco-conscious bungalows set to open in stages. The Vinh Moc Tunnels, a historic Vietnam War heritage site, is also nearby, making it high in visit value for history lovers too.<\/p>\n

Reactions on the ground in Vietnam<\/h2>\n

The Party Secretary of Quang Tri Province stated, \"We will make maximum use of tourism in the Con Co special economic zone,\" and the whole province is putting effort into attracting tourists. A local expert stresses, \"Not mass tourism, but premium experiences coexisting with the environment \u2014 that is Quang Tri tourism's differentiation strategy.\" Among domestic tourists, voices are also rising like \"it's just like Phu Quoc Island 15 years ago,\" raising hopes for it as the epicenter of the next Vietnam resort boom.<\/p>\n

Summary: to a premium Vietnamese beach \"no one knows yet\"<\/h2>\n

For repeat travelers tired of crowded Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and for travelers oriented toward sustainable trips, Quang Tri Province is Vietnam's most noteworthy emerging destination in 2026. Now, before the airport opens, may be the chance to have a \"genuine beach experience\" where the quiet still remains.<\/p>\n
