Central region to lure 100,000 Thai, Lao visitors
Update: Nov 30, 2008
Vietnam’s central region is expected to receive about 100,000 visitors from Thailand and Laos this year.

This target is feasible thanks to a direct air route Da Nang city to Bangkok and a land route along the East-West economic corridor.

Tourism businesses in the region and Thai travel agencies gathered at a seminar in Da Nang recently to discuss measures to effectively attract tourists.

They agreed to boost exchanges of information and cooperation among cities and provinces in central Vietnam and Thai and Lao localities.

Vietnamese provinces plan to work with travel agencies in Thailand and Laos to promote their local tourism destinations.
