Welcome guests with a smile
On the weekend, I took a group of friends from Vung Tau City to Thuy Xuan Incense Village (Thuan Hoa District) for a visit. Seeing us taking turns taking photos, an employee offered to help. After more than an hour of checking in at the store, the store staff introduced us to the craft village and souvenir products with a cheerful attitude, without insisting on buying anything or charging us an entrance fee.
“This is the difference between Hue and some other tourist destinations I have visited. At each destination, visitors are warmly and sincerely welcomed, so even if they do not have a need to buy anything, they are still generous in spending money on tourist facilities,” said Han Nhi, a tourist.
Not only are craft villages and tourist attractions changing their service style, aiming for friendliness and hospitality, but even traditional markets are making efforts to build their image. At An Cuu market, vendors have changed their service style, selling goods at listed prices. They always smile and greet customers whether they sell their goods or not.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung, a souvenir trader at An Cuu market, when the market infrastructure is upgraded and renovated, along with the boat docks and riverside roads, the number of tourists coming to visit and shop is quite large. Changing the style and service attitude, competing healthily and diversifying the source of goods is the way for each stall to attract customers and also the way for tourists to return to the market after each visit to Hue .
Connecting new tour routes
In the first quarter of 2025, Thuan Hoa district attracted nearly 950,000 visitors to visit and stay; of which, staying guests accounted for more than 447,000, tourism revenue reached 1,550 billion VND. Purchasing power in the area also increased when a number of large shopping centers and supermarkets were established, such as Aeon Mall - Hue. Total retail sales of goods and social consumer service revenue in the district reached 9,647 billion VND, an increase of 12% over the same period last year.
Thuan Hoa District continues to promote major holidays, cultural activities, strengthen investment promotion, seek new products and services, and restructure customer sources. At the same time, promote and connect major travel agencies; link and cooperate with media partners, tourism businesses, and transportation units to attract customers. Along with that, it is necessary to form and connect new tourist routes; effectively implement approved tourism and cultural projects, such as: community-based tourism in Hai Duong , Ru Cha - Con Te community eco-tourism area, Thuy Bieu eco-tourism area, etc.
Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, Secretary of the Thuan Hoa District Party Committee Phan Thien Dinh said that the Provincial People's Committee, now Hue City, is focusing resources on synchronous investment in infrastructure serving traffic, people's lives, tourism, etc., with priority given to the area of Hue City (old), now Phu Xuan and Thuan Hoa districts. Thanks to that, the infrastructure serving people's lives and tourism in the area is gradually being completed and synchronized from the central area to the surrounding areas, such as Huong Phong, Thuan An, Thuy Bang, etc.
2025 is the year the whole city implements the National Tourism Year. The district has been directing localities to implement many activities to ensure a "Civilized - Friendly - Safe - Rich in Identity" tourism environment; including implementing many solutions to build safe streets, manage cyclos and consider cyclo drivers as tourism ambassadors; strengthen inspections to limit noise at tourist destinations; control food hygiene and safety at restaurants, etc.
An important content that Thuan Hoa district is focusing on to attract visitors during the National Tourism Year is to increase cultural, artistic and community activities in night streets, walking streets, Nguyen Dinh Chieu walking street, area 15, 23 - 25 Le Loi, 3/2 Park, aiming to form a cultural exchange center, book space, Guitar club... to create more entertainment venues to serve people and tourists.
