The culture, sports and tourism industry focused on these goals at a conference on deploying work this year that was held in Hanoi on February 25-26.      

The industry will concentrate on developing human resources in the sector and gradually make tourism into a key industry. It also presented the tourism development project for 2011-2020 to the Prime Minister for approval.

The tourism sector will increase domestic and foreign cultural exchanges, introduce Vietnamese culture to the world, strengthen advertising of the national image and promote voting for Ha Long Bay to become one of the new natural wonders of the world.

In sports, the industry will prepare well for the 26^th SEA Games, the qualifying round of the 2012 Olympic Games and the 17^th ASIAD in 2014.
