To achieve that goal, there must be a shared responsibility and connection between all levels, sectors and people to create a combined strength for the development of Quang Tri tourism industry. In which, there is a great role and responsibility of media agencies, press and businesses.

Enterprises are both the focus of development motivation, and for the state, enterprises are both management objects and “partners” in socio-economic development. Meanwhile, journalists are an important “bridge” that plays the role of both attracting and pushing, helping socio-economic development activities to be more effective, transparent and humane.

In order for the State - Journalist - Business “orchestra” to resonate and create a healthy investment environment, the proactiveness of state agencies is an extremely important factor. To achieve this, local authorities need to implement the goal of “creating, acting, serving” by proactively providing information to the press in a complete, accurate, and timely manner; respecting and listening to the voices of businesses, including objections; considering journalists and businesses as “important partners”.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Minh Hung Quang Tri Joint Stock Company Le Dinh Sung emphasized the role of the press in building the image and brand of local businesses.
