Tran Huu Hiep, the
association’s chairman, said: “The plan aims to attract more local
visitors and welcome international tourists, especially those from
Southeast Asia.”
The plan has the
participation of 57 serviced accommodation businesses, 36 food and beverage
service businesses, 25 tourism areas, and 22 tourism agencies in the region.
All of them have
committed to offer 10-50 per cent discounts on service prices.
Trinh Cong Vinh,
chairman of the Bac Lieu Tourism Association, said the province
would reduce entrance fees by 10-20 per cent for its 12 tourism
areas. The province is also working on development of agricultural
tourism in Phuoc Long and Hong Dan districts.
An Giang Province has
completed the upgrade of landscape and facilities for the Trà Sư cajuput
forest, which is expected to help attract more cranes and other birds,
and raise visitors' interest in the site.
Earlier this
year, Tra Su was recognised as the most beautiful forest in Vietnam by the
Vietnam Records Organisation. It has the longest bamboo bridge in the country.
Meanwhile, Vietravel,
one of the country’s leading tourism agencies, is creating a new tour
linking provinces and cities in the region, including Can Tho, Soc Trang, Bac
Lieu and Ca Mau.
Le Dinh Minh Thy,
director of Vietravel's Can Tho and Southwest region, said: “The new tour
has been welcomed by our customers, who love day-long tours to
discover the Mekong region.”
Hiep, chairman of the
Mekong Tourism Association, has encouraged tourism businesses and organisations
in the region to enhance cooperation with HCM City to develop the
tourism plan.
According
to provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta, the number of arrivals
in the region in the first four months of the year fell by 41.6
per cent compared to the same period last year, while revenue fell 42 per
cent. VNS
