Lao Cai (VNA) – An international tourism fair is currently underway in the northwestern province of Lao Cai, featuring 130 stalls and delegations from 120 travel agencies representing more than ten countries and territories.

In his opening address on June 5, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Hoang Quoc Khanh said that the fair’s theme of connecting green aspirations reflects Lao Cai’s commitment to sustainable development, with a focus on natural ecosystem conservation, waste reduction, clean energy, and renewable resources.

Running until June 8, the event is expected to provide a platform for establishing partnerships and attracting more visitors to Lao Cai in the future.

Pham Van Thuy, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, suggested that for Lao Cai to achieve sustainable tourism development, the province should focus on selective investment and attracting strategic investors in tourism infrastructure and eco-resorts. This would help build Lao Cai as a safe, secure, and environmentally-friendly tourist destination.

The fair also includes promotion activities, the introduction of tourism-related products, vouchers, souvenirs, and services offered by Thai enterprises, as well as by Vietnamese tourism operators for the Sunworld Fansipan Legend cable car service, the Rong May glass bridge tourist area, and the Cat Cat tourism area in Sa Pa.

Additionally, a number of activities are set to take place, including a seminar on connectivity for green tourism development, as well as a familiarisation trip and press tour.

In recent years, many of Lao Cai’s tourism products have become well-known, securing the province’s position on both Vietnam’s and the world’s tourism maps. In 2024, the province welcomed over 8 million visitors and generated nearly 27 trillion VND (1.03 billion USD) in revenue./.
