Hue has identified tourism and services as its spearhead economic sector. Under the scenario for developing tourism in line with the double-digit growth target, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has set a target for Hue to welcome approximately 2.5 million international visitors in 2026, up 31.5% from 2025. This is both a target and a test of the city’s ability to turn its tourism advantages into revenue, investment opportunities, and ripple effects across other economic sectors.

Over the past 5 years, the spearhead education has undergone positive changes with many first prizes at the national exams for excellent students, and many subjects such as biology, informatics, and physics have made appearances at the Asian and international Olympiads. The problem posed is that there is a need for investment and joint efforts to overcome difficulties, reach high, and reach far.

From the 23rd position nationwide in 2016, Thua Thien Hue's spearhead education has risen to 9th, and its position in the top 10 has been maintained and consolidated in recent years.
