Binh Thuan has attracted around 900,000 tourists so far this year, up 8% compared to the same period of last year.
The province is pressing the rest to complete upgrades by September, the high season for international visitors. Resorts not in compliance by 31 December will lose their licenses. 
Binh Thuan Youth, Culture and Sports official Le Thi Thanh Lien said the province has suspended four resorts and imposed fines on six others in the year to date.
During the period, Lien said, the province has inspected 20 resorts and all of them have been found to break regulations on environmental protection. The provincial government has taken punitive sanctions against half of them and will similarly deal with the rest.
Also according to Lien, Binh Thuan has attracted around 900,000 tourists so far this year, up 8% compared to the same period of last year. Of them, 134,000 are international visitors, up 36% year-on-year.
