Mr. Nguyen Manh Loi – Director of the Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center of Nghe An province, said: "The 2024 Conference on Tourism Connection between Nghe An and Thai Nguyen and Northern Provinces is of great importance to Nghe An tourism in the coming time, in terms of continuing to promote and attract tourists from Thai Nguyen and Northern provinces to Nghe An. With favorable transportation conditions and in anticipation of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth and related activities, this will be a meaningful program to connect the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh with historical sites associated with President Ho Chi Minh's resistance against the French. It is an exchange and connection between localities to embark on a journey back to the roots of the affectionate Nghe An region."

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Ha Van Sieu, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, highly appreciated the efforts of Nghe An, Thai Nguyen, and other northern provinces in linking and promoting tourism development. However, for the tourism industry in these localities to truly develop more strongly in the future, the tourism promotion agencies of the provinces need to strengthen their messaging to help localities introduce destinations and products, create a connecting environment, and constantly innovate and create a series of actions that benefit both travel businesses and tourists.

Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, Ha Van Sieu, delivered a speech at the conference.

Mr. Ha Van Sieu emphasized: "For each side to prove that their product is truly good, we stress that for a product to be sustainable, long-lasting, far-reaching, and comprehensive, it must be of high quality. Quality must go deep. Quality must have a focus on the culture of each locality, the unique characteristics of each region, in order to create differentiation and provide a basis for us to develop products and attract tourists."

The conference also witnessed the signing of cooperation agreements between the Nghe An Tourism Association, the Thai Nguyen Tourism Association, and the UNESCO Hanoi Travel Club.

The 2024 Nghe An - Thai Nguyen and Northern Provinces Tourism Promotion and Connection Conference creates favorable conditions and serves as a "platform" for businesses to collaborate and connect, offering opportunities to promote tourism linkages between Nghe An province and other provinces and cities, while providing unique tourism experiences for visitors and contributing to the sustainable development of the tourism industry in the future.
