WE.VN e-commerce platform launched to promote wellness tourism in Vietnam
VOV.VN - The WE.VN tourism e-commerce platform has debuted as a means of strengthening connectivity among travel firms, tour guides, and companies that provide tourism products, especially wellness tourism products.
Addressing a workshop in Hanoi on June 11, Truong Thi Bich Ngoc, representative of We Fusion company, emphasized that apart from outstanding natural resources, tourism, and cuisine, healthcare services in Vietnam have lower prices than that of other Asian countries.
In line with this, healthcare facilities have met international standards and boast highly qualified human resources, Ngoc added.
Furthermore, Vietnam also has long-standing and effective traditional medicine, with a wide range of indigenous herbs which are good for health, she noted.
Sharing the viewpoint, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Hong Long from Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities stated that although wellness tourism has existed in the country, there are few specialised tours.
As part of efforts to further develop health tourism products locally, Dr. Long underscored the importance of enhancing connectivity among service providers and trave operators in order to meet the rising demand for wellness tourism in Vietnam.
Through the launch of tourism e-commerce platform WE.VN, travel agencies can provide high-quality wellness tourism products for tourists to enjoy, he emphasized.
During the course of the workshop, there was a signing ceremony of strategic co-operation in wellness tourism among partners.
