DANANG – The central province of Thua Thien-Hue is set to welcome at least 3,200 visitors from China and Northeast Asian countries in the next four months.
There will be four to six trips carrying travelers from China and other countries in Northeast Asia every month until late October, Nguyen Van Phuc, director of the provincial Department of Tourism, told The Saigon Times.
Recently, the Phu Bai International Airport received 230 visitors from Kunming, China on July 2.
To boost tourism, the provincial government has introduced a 50% fee discount on admission to the historic Hue relic sites. Various welcome activities, including Hue Royal music performances and gift-giving events, have been organized at Ngo Mon Gate (Noon Gate), the main southern entry to the Hue Imperial Citadel.
The Department of Tourism has advised the provincial government to support airlines and tour operators to bring in more visitors.
Thua Thien-Hue is actively preparing for the Four Seasons Festival project, which is aimed at attracting visitors from around the world throughout the year.
This effort is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the tourism industry and socioeconomic development in the province.
