The district of Sapa in the northwest province of Lao Cai, one of the
top tourism destinations in Vietnam, is expected to welcome about
50,000-70,000 visitors in the upcoming six-day vacation which starts
from April 28.
In order to support travellers, the locality is rushing to prepare for the influx of tourists.
Accordingly, the municipal Youth Union has provided tour guide
training courses for about 250 union members aiming to provide
information and instructions to tourists.
The district plans to open three information booths and hotlines in 35 public locations.
Moreover, municipal authorities have asked 350 hotels, restaurants and
bars in the locality to commit to not raise their prices on the
occasion.
There are nearly 200 hotels with 5,000 rooms and more
than 100 homestays in Sapa, according to the municipal Cultural and
Information Office.-VNA
