The Hanoitimes – On January 28, a workshop on cooperating the management of destinations in the Mekong Delta provinces of An Giang, Kien Giang and Can Tho was held in Phu Quoc island, Kien Giang province, aiming to promote tourism cooperation in the region.
The workshop was co-chaired by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism and the Environmentally and Socially Responsible Tourism Capacity Development Program funded by the European Union.
Addressing at the workshop, Robert Travers, an international expert on destination of the project said: The main challenge of these destinations is the period of staying of visitors is very short (only one night). Tourists just consider this as an attraction in their journey, not rather see it as a destination to discover.
