At the conference, representatives of local tourism associations and travel and service businesses frankly pointed out limitations and shortcomings, and at the same time offered suggestions to promote product and tour connection between businesses and localities in the coming time.
Delegates said that in order to promote tourism development and effectively promote linkages, localities need to focus on investing in specific products, forming a chain of tourism products between Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Kon Tum and the provinces and cities of the Mekong Delta. Provinces and cities in the linkage need to have communication strategies for promotion, coordination and mutual support in organizing famtrips and presstrips to survey destinations. At the same time, there should be a coordination mechanism between transportation, travel and accommodation businesses and airlines to develop preferential product packages, stimulate tourism; promote the application of digital technology and connect digital data between localities.../.
