City to make information more accessible to tourists
HCM City is working on a project to make it easier for visitors to obtain information, advice and support through the internet, telephone hotline and travel information booths.
Presented to the municipal government for approval by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, it will include a travel portal at www.vibrant-hochiminhcity.com and a hotline for tourists.
Besides, information centres will be set up next to Ben Thanh Market, the central post office, Lam Son Park in front of the City Opera House, and the international terminal at Tan Son Nhat Airport. Here, tourists can get travel guides, maps and other publications.
HCM City received around 1.6 million foreign visitors in the first five months and expects to welcome 4.1 million during the whole year, according to tourism authorities.-VNS
