The locality will mobilise resources to effectively implement the central and local resolutions, programmes, plans and projects on tourism development. It is striving to host 3.3 million arrivals in 2020, 500,000 of them foreign, and gain 2.5 trillion VND in tourism revenue.

Concluding the conference, Cuu said that it is necessary to accelerate administrative reform, build rational mechanisms and preferential policies for tourism development, as well as enhance management of natural resources and tourism environment.

In addition, priority should be given to boosting tourism cooperation with eight northwestern localities, Hanoi and several cities and provinces across the nation, he said, adding developing new tourism products and paying attention to preserving and promoting local culture and values of relic sites are seen as effective measures to branch out local tourism./.
