The two sides agreed to promote images of Hue and Thailand to lure more Thai tourists to Hue and vice versa.

They reached agreements on some issues relating to tourism cooperation and development through exploiting potential of each other.

Mrs. Tunyaratt Achariyachai appreciated Hue ’s potential for developing tourism, particularly its traditional culture, nature and the hospitality of Hue ’s people to attract Thai visitors.
