The tourism industry of central Quang Nam province is stepping up
its efforts to attract visitors, particularly Vietnamese nationals.
According to Chairman the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism Dinh Hai, the province aims to develop
sustainable tourism through the creation of favourable conditions for
enterprises and localities to diversity and improve the quality of their
products.
To encourage visitors to extend their
stay in Quang Nam, a range of activities are on offer, from trips to
sea, islands and handicraft villages to homestays and nature
experiences. Promotions will run all year round, not just over
traditional holiday periods such as New Year, with many attractive
packages.
Quang Nam has so far this year
welcomed over 2.6 million tourists, representing a year-on-year increase
of 5 percent. Among those who visited the province’s two world heritage
sites of My Son Sanctuary and the ancient town of Hoi An, 1.5
million were domestic tourists, up 26 percent compared to the same
period last year.
Thanks to numerous measures to
stimulate demands, create a friendly tourism environment and improve
the quality of products and services, the number of tourists who stayed
in the province has remarkably increased, with more than 702,000
holidaymakers in the first eight months of this year, a year-on-year
rise of 12 percent.
The province earned approximately 3.3 trillion VND (115 million USD) from tourism during the the Jan-August period.-VNA
