HCM City – With its advantages in regional connectivity and a big number of visitors, Ho Chi Minh City has been
chosen by other cities and provinces to organise activities aiming to boost
tourism development.

The People Committee of the northern mountainous
province of Lai Chau has recently launched a culture-tourism week in HCM City,
which featured traditional culture like “khen” (panpipe) of the Mong ethnic minority group, “dan tinh” (handmade gourd lutes) and “hat then” (then singing), and Xoe
dance and “nhay sap” (dancing with bamboo poles) – unique art forms of the Thai
people in Lai Chau.

The programme has contributed to promoting tourism
cooperation between Lai Chau and the southern largest economic hub as well as other
cities and provinces in the region, said Tong Thanh Hai, Standing Vice Chairman
of the Lai Chau People’s Committee.

Gia Lai province in the Central Highlands also
organised a tourism promotion conference in HCM City, introducing its tourism
services and products, covering eco-tourism.

In the first nine months of this year, the city
recorded over 92.3 trillion VND (4 billion USD) in tourism revenues, up 15.5%
from the yearly target. More than 2 million foreigners arrived in the city, or
60.3% of the initial plan.

The city has maintained connectivity with 13 cities
and provinces in the Mekong Delta, southeastern, northwestern and northeastern
regions, and the central key economic region.

Statistics showed that in the 2020-2022 period, the
southeastern localities served over 73.53 million holidaymakers, earning 260.16
trillion VND (10.67 billion USD) in tourism revenues.

Deputy
Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Doan Van Viet said the connectivity not
only helps to diversify products but also promotes their uniqueness, suggesting
localities and businesses effectively and pragmatically roll out the signed
agreements and launch more attractive tourism programmes./.

The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh province has twice been honored as a World Natural Heritage site. This is a testament to its unique geomorphology and global tourism value, as well as countless efforts of Vietnam to increase awareness in the process of international integration.

Over the past two decades, Quang Binh has worked hard to preserve cultural heritage values of the national park toward the goal of sustainable development.

The management board of the national park has actively cooperated with domestic and foreign organizations to carry out scientific projects to preserve the heritage for the local socio-economic development.

In 2003, experts from the Royal British Cave Association discovered Son Doong – the world’s largest cave in the park. The site is important in caving research in the region, promoting the image of Phong Nha-Ke Bang around the world.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park has three forms of tourism, including self-exploration, joint venture businesses, and leasing of forest environment services.

The development of tourism services has attracted an increasing number of visitors to the site. In order to ensure both tourism development and sustainable heritage conservation, the park management board is monitoring and assessing the impact of tourism activities on the caves to mitigate negative impacts on the heritage./.
