Five central provinces – Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Nam, and Da Nang – jointly launched a series of culture and tourism events in Hanoi on Wednesday in an attempt to stimulate tourism demand in the central region. The five localities have seen growth in their tourism industry over recent years and become attractive destinations in both Vietnam and Asia. Statistics show they received between 20 million and 25 million arrivals per year during the 2016 – 2019 period.

Dang Dong Ha, Deputy Director of Quang Binh Provincial Department of Tourism, said: “Tourism products of our five localities are linked and jointly introduced. They were voted in 2019 by Lonely Planet magazine as one of the 10 most attractive destinations in Asia. We boast convenient transportation and tourism richness ranging from sea resort tourism to cultural, historical, and community tourism, which are very suitable for domestic and international travelers. In particular, the tangible and intangible cultural heritages in the five localities are immense. Therefore, the five localities join together to form common products to attract more tourists.”

As the host of the National Tourism Year 2022, Quang Nam will organise many tourism events to serve travelers throughout the year. Outstanding upcoming activities include the Korean Culture Days in Quang Nam and the traditional craft village festival in Hoi An.
