LAC Hong Voyages offers new tourism experiences in Vietnam in a year when the country hopes to generate four and five billion dollars from tourism, twice as much as in 2005.
Vietnam has increased its spend on tourism marketing and promotion in 2006, it’s National Tourism year as it hopes to bring in between 10 and 20 per cent more tourists with increased ‘high-quality’ products. A four-year National Tourism Action Programme under the slogan, “Vietnam: Hidden Charm” reflects the current situation in the country, Tourism Promotion Department director Phan Huu Minh told media. “Vietnam is like a pearl hidden inside a stone. [The country] is just waking up, not yet rising in glory.”
New tourism products include visits to world heritage sites such as Hoi An ancient town, My Son sanctuary, a bike tour between Hoi An/Ban Thach/My Son/Tay Vien/ Truoung Son Trail and sailing on Phu Ninh Lake.
The country caters to tourists from North America, East Asia, Europe, Australia, and increasingly, the Middle East, Russia and East Europe.
