Mekong Tourism Forum kicks off in Quang Nam

The 2022 Mekong Tourism Forum opened in the central province of Quang Nam on October 12 with the participation of more than 250 delegates from Vietnam and other Greater Mekong Sub-region nations, as well as international tourism organisations.

The forum, themed “Rebuild Tourism, Rebound with Resilience” featured three interactive expert-led panel discussions centering on measures for sustainable tourism recovery, development and promotion; new methods to connect sustainable tourism suppliers and buyers; and technology to unlock green tourism opportunities.

First held in 1996, the Mekong Tourism Forum is an annual event for tourism development and cooperation in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, which comprises Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

According to insiders, Greater Mekong Sub-region nations pay attention to policies, regulations, and investments necessary to ensure tourism’s recovery and sustainability, particularly in terms of quality infrastructure and nature-based solutions./.
