Thai companies assist Quang Nam to unlock tourism potential
Quang Nam (VNA) – Two Thai companies and the central province of Quang Nam on
November 28 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on a project to develop,
promote and provide services for tourism development.
The signatories
to the MoU are the Quang Nam Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Thailand’s
Index Creative Village Public Limited Company and Vietnam Centre Limited
Company.
Under the MoU, the
two Thai companies will assist Quang Nam with activities in the Quang Nam
Heritage Festival that includes the light and sound festival celebrating the
Lunar New Year 2017, Hoi An ancient town’s Night Market festival, the Quang Nam
Heritage Journey festival, the international Marathon race in Hoi An city. They
also share Quang Nam with experience in developing agriculture in green
tourism.
Apart from possessing
the two world heritages - the ancient town of Hoi An and the My Son Sanctuary, Quang
Nam boats the Cham Islands
Biosphere Reserve and more than 60 national and provincial cultural heritages.
The province has advantages
in developing tangible and intangible culture tourism products, maritime tourism,
inland tourism, community-based tourism, and craft village tourism.
However, Quang Nam’s tourism
potential has yet developed properly to raise the sector’s effectiveness and contribute
to local social-economic development.
With the
implementation of the project with the Thai partners, Quang Nam hopes that its
potential and tourism attractiveness will be fully and widely introduced to
international and local tourists.-VNA
