Central localities team up to promote tourism in Taiwan
VOV.VN - Three localities in central Vietnam – Da Nang, Quang Nam and Thua Thien-Hue – have co-hosted a programme themed "Amazing Central Vietnam Heritage" to introduce their tourism potential in Taipei of Taiwan (China).
The June 23 event attracted the participation of more than 120 representatives from numerous airlines, travel agencies, and news agencies in Taipei.
Representatives of the three Vietnamese localities introduced a range of typical tourism products, including resort tourism, cultural tourism, MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events), golf tourism, and wedding tourism to local partners and tourism firms.
A business-to-business (B2B) matching session was also held to help businesses from the three localities to popularize their various tourism products and services.
Vu Tien Dung, head of the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, said Vietnam welcomed nearly 530,000 visitors from Taiwan in the opening five months of this year, representing an increase of 110.1% year on year.
Most notably, about 45% of the visitors headed to popular tourist destinations in the central region such as Hue, Hoi An, and Da Nang.
According to the Da Nang Department of Tourism, the number of Taiwanese visitors to Da Nang ranked second among the central city’s top 10 international tourism markets throughout the reviewed period.
