Linh told a promotion event for tourism products of Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Nam provinces and Danang City in Can Tho City last week that he had made a field trip to the Mekong Delta including some sacred sites and realized that street vendors and food selling had become rampant around tourist sites.
Linh said the Mekong Delta lacks interesting stories for its tourist destinations as part of their products. For example, Cam Mountain has many legends such as a snake transforming into a human being and a monk catching a tiger by his hands but these stories have not been fully used to make the popular destination in Tinh Bien District of An Giang Province more attractive.
“We have not made full use of the legends to attract travelers,” Linh said, explaining why the Mekong Delta tourism is less appealing than other parts of the country.
A representative from VITOUR Company said the firm wanted to bring more guests to the Mekong Delta, but tourism products there were not diverse. He called for Can Tho City and the Mekong Delta as a whole to diversify tourism products.
Linh of VietJetAir said that some 54,000 people have taken Danang-Can Tho flights since the air route was launched nearly one year ago but more passengers have traveled from Can Tho City to the central city.
Hoang Truong Chi Giao of the Danang Tourism Promotion Center said apart from existing tourism products, Danang City and Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Nam provinces have launched many new products this year.
