In Ninh Binh, Trang An restaurant was chosen as the venue for the tour group's meal. However, guests will not be eating Ninh Binh's specialty mountain goat dishes; instead, the restaurant will mainly serve vegan Indian cuisine. With an unprecedented number of visitors, localities, hotels, and restaurants have made special preparations for this tourism development opportunity. Accordingly, each group of 30-35 guests needs a minimum of 3 tour guides fluent in Hindi. Information boards at some famous tourist attractions have also been translated into Hindi to serve visitors. In addition, local businesses have been instructed to improve the quality of their services. To date, agencies, departments, tourism businesses, tourist attractions, and accommodation establishments are ready to welcome guests. The Vietnam National Tourism Administration will support and coordinate with relevant agencies, departments, and businesses to manage visitors at high-traffic areas such as border gates, customs, vehicle convoys, and accommodation facilities to prevent congestion and ensure safety. This event is considered a significant step in affirming Vietnam's position as an attractive destination for tourism and international events, especially given the increasing trend of Indian tourists visiting Vietnam.Laodong.vn
