New Delhi – A programme introducing Da Nang city’s tourism was
held in New Delhi, India on August 4.

The event was jointly held by the People’s Committee of
Vietnam’s central city and Vietjet Air, aiming to popularise destinations and
introducing the carrier’s direct air routes linking Da Nang and Indian cities.

Vietnamese Ambassador to India Pham Sanh Chau said that the
average number of visas for Indians to enter Vietnam has surged after COVID-19, from 250 visas per day before the pandemic to 6000 at present.

Nguyen Duc Quynh, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang Tourism Association,
said that India will be an important market for many tourist destinations
during the post-pandemic recovery period.

According to him, India’s positive open-door policy and the
great travel demand of its people can help Vietnam make up for the number of
visitors from the traditional Northeast Asian markets, which have not yet reopened
fully after the pandemic.

Within the framework of this programme, cooperation
agreements were signed between the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Centre (DTPC) and India’s
Global Aviation Services Plt Ltd to promote the destination of Da Nang in
India; and between the Da Nang Tourism Association and the Network of Indian MICE
Agents (NIMA).

A representative of Vietjet Air also introduced to Indian
partners its direct flight network from major Indian cities to Vietnam,
including Da Nang.

Accordingly, the first two direct flights from Mumbai and
New Delhi to Da Nang will be launched on October 17 and 18. The airline will
also operate three new routes to Da Nang from Bengaluru, Hyderabad and
Ahmedabad on November 28, November 29 and December 1, respectively./.

Quang Binh
(VNA) – The central province of Quang Binh, which is a popular tourist
destination thanks to its rich natural landscapes with a spectacular cave system
and beautiful beaches, has prepared diverse tourism products to draw domestic
and foreign tourists during this year’s peak tourism season in summer.

Hoang Minh Thang,
Director of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang Tourism Centre, said that right from the
beginning of this year, the centre has focused on upgrading local tourism
infrastructure to ensure best experiences for visitors.

At the same time, it has worked hard to
develop and diversify tourism products and services to lure more holidaymakers.

Currently, the
provincial Department of Tourism is also coordinating with the Management Board
of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and relevant agencies to provide adventure
tours to explore the national park and local cave system.

Alongside, the centre has focused on
developing human resources for the tourism sector by coordinating with
local training facilities, while applying measures to ensure food safety, said
Thang.

Quang Binh boasts rich tourism resources
and is home to the Phong Nha -Ke Bang National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the world’s largest cave Son Doong.

The province also has the longest coastline in Vietnam, with beautiful beaches
and delicious seafood. It was chosen as one of the filming destinations of the
Hollywood blockbuster movie “Kong: Skull Island”.

After two years of
struggling with difficulties from the COVID-19 pandemic, the local tourism sector
has strongly recovered and developed.

This year, Quang Binh
aims to receive 3-3.5 million visitors, including 100,000 foreigners, earning
3.4-3.9 trillion VND (144.12-165.32 million USD)./.

Urban tourism needs proper planning for growth

Vietnam is home to numerous urban areas with key tourism destinations. However, not all cities are able to fully tap their potential to develop tourism. In that sense, devising a proper planning scheme is needed to help them maximize their tourism advantages.

In Vietnam, the urbanisation rate has reached nearly 40%, with over 860 urban areas. Many hold large potential for tourism development.

Vung Tau city, for example, is rich in advantages such as convenient traffic locations, seaports, a large oil and gas centre, a four-season climate, and beautiful beaches.

Phu Quoc, located on the southwest coast, is considered a centre of eco-tourism, and high-class beach resorts.

In recent years, experts have warned that coastal cities are at risk of sea level rise, and unusual natural disasters due to climate change.

Therefore, cities need strengthen measures to protect coastal lands, sea mouths, and estuaries.

Experts also suggested reviewing and adjusting the planning of existing sea tourism urban areas, especially for coastal spaces./.
