(binhthuan.gov.vn) In 2024, the Implementation Team of Phu Quy District's Digital Transformation Program proactively coordinated with agencies and units in the district to develop and build some specific functions for Phu Quy District through national digital applications and platforms (Vietnam Tourism Application, digital tourism map, Vietnam Sports Application); initially facilitating tourists and locals to access and use popular digital platforms; promoting and introducing information about the district's characteristic tourist destinations, services, and attractions.

As a result, in the field of tourism, Phu Quy district has now completed the digitization of all 11/11 notable tourist attractions and landmarks on the "Explore" section of the Vietnam Tourism Yellow Pages and the Vietnam Tourism app. This allows visitors to easily search for and access information quickly and conveniently through the Digital Tourism Map when they visit Phu Quy. Automated guides for the 11 prominent tourist destinations of the district are available (information on history, culture, and characteristics of each site can be accessed through the sections: Introduction, images, and audio on the Vietnam Tourism app). A pilot project has launched 40 destinations on the Digital Tourism Map, including restaurants, hotels, homestays, and tourist sites, to promote and introduce information about the district's landmarks, tourism services, and unique attractions. Additionally, a communication channel has been created to provide consulting services to tourists via the chat feature within the app. The "Accommodation Management" feature has been completed, and a dedicated booking section for Phu Quy district has been established on the Vietnam Tourism app (with plans to connect all accommodation facilities in the district by Q1/2025). The car rental feature has been successfully tested and connected with car rental services in Phu Quy through the Vietnam Tourism app, allowing tourists to easily rent cars via the app (this feature is expected to be fully operational by Q1/2025).

In the healthcare sector, Phu Quy district has implemented and put into use the Healthcare Management software at the Phu Quy Military-Civilian Health Center. Currently, the software is operating smoothly, helping to improve the efficiency of medical examination and treatment, patient management, medical history, and related healthcare information. The electronic medical records (EMR) system has been implemented, and it is expected that in Q1/2025, an evaluation and assessment will be conducted, followed by the official announcement of its official usage.

In the field of card issuance and electronic payments, Phu Quy district has now opened bank payment accounts for service providers (points of payment acceptance), with 104 accounts for business households. These accounts support the implementation of electronic payments and cashless transactions. A pilot project for the Viet Card and card payment acceptance points has been launched at Ngo Quyen High School; the payment card allows students to easily make payments for meals and other services within the school in a convenient and quick manner. Additionally, electronic payments have been piloted at 16 tourism service providers, including restaurants, homestays, and cafes, such as 93 Độ Đông, Villa Giác, Dốc Phượt Cafe, Red Crab Restaurant, and others.

In addition, Phu Quy district has made significant progress in digital transformation in sports activities. Specifically, the district has managed and updated information about sports and created a dedicated section for Phu Quy on the Vietnam Sports app. The district also manages various fees, fee notifications, and community bulletin boards for residents of Phu Quy through the notification feature on the Viet Card app. Pilot connections have been made with electronic ticketing systems, such as Vietnam Railway tickets and the largest bus ticketing system in Vietnam, to lay the groundwork for integrating with ferry ticket providers to Phu Quy. This will allow tourists to purchase and pay for tickets via the Vietnam Tourism app.
