Facing a declining number of international tourists, the city’s tourism sector has conducted various tourism promotion programs such as Fruit Festival, Food Festival, etc. Publications such as brochures and maps in both Vietnamese and English have been issued while an information section has been set up on the website of the city’s Department of Tourism together with the operation of a tourism switchboard (1087).
