The northern coastal province of Quang Ninh and the
International Culture Association WANOKAI ( Japan ) have worked
together on ways to spur tourism development.
At a
workshop on cooperation in tourism development last week,
Hamada-Kazuki, Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Japan , spoke of the
great number of Japanese visitors to Vietnam annually, but raised
the fact that the number of those returning to the country is still low.
Officials from the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism proposed the early establishment of a
mechanism for both sides to promptly exchange tourist information and set
up joint plans for cooperation and implementation.
They expressed their hopes to receive assistance in setting up a tourism
representative office in Japan as well as cooperation to promote
tourism and develop tourism products.-VNA
