Held as part of the Vietnam International Travel Mart Hanoi 2023, it gathered representatives of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), tourism management units at central and local levels, and travel companies. The four provinces took this occasion to hold a display of publications and documents on their tourism products and specialties.
In his remarks at the event, VNAT General Director Nguyen Trung Khanh said this was a good opportunity for the provinces to introduce what they have to offer visitors in the peak time of domestic tourism this summer.
Leveraging the potential and unique identity of each locality in the overall linkage, the provinces have focused on building and effectively exploiting a series of new and attractive products such as a tour through ancient Vietnamese capitals, and a journey to discover heritages in the Central region, Khanh noted.
They have even reached out to the international market by connecting with Laos and Thailand, he added.
The number of tourists to these provinces skyrocketed last year, reflecting the prospects brought about by regional tourism linkages, said the official.
Located in the Southern reaches of the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh is known for its wondrous natural scenery, with a labyrinth of waterways, mountains, and plains as well as cross-cultural influences from the North to the South and from the mountains to the plains and coastal areas. The province's Trang An Landscape Complex was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site in June 2014, becoming the first mixed natural and cultural property in Vietnam.
The North-central province of Thanh Hoa is home to Ben En National Park and a part of Cuc Phuong National Park. It houses 11 conservation areas of scenic spots, and historical and cultural relic sites.
Lying in the heart of the North central region and the East-West economic corridor linking Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam with the East Sea, Nghe An has a coastline of 82km with stunning beaches and more than 2,600 historical relic sites and natural landscapes. It is also home to six ethnic groups with unique cultures.
Ha Tinh is located in the Northern part of Central Vietnam, about 340 km (211 miles) South of Hanoi, facing Nghe An province to the North, Quang Binh province to the South, Laos to the West, and the East Sea to the East. It is endowed with beautiful beaches and a large number of national-level and provincial-level relic sites.
