Quang Ninh (VNA) – A conference was held in Ha Long
city on September 25 to boost tourism connection between Vietnam’s northern
province of Quang Ninh and China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.



During the event, Quang Ninh’s Ha Long and Mong Cai cities and
Guangxi’s Dongxing and Guilin signed a memoranda of understanding (MoU) on
tourism development.



Accordingly, the localities agreed on general cooperation principles
and mechanism to expand tours, and commitments to service quality, among
others.



Representatives from the localities briefed on their potential and
advantages.



Ha Long underlined its potential for sea and island tourism development, with
the highlight being the UNESCO-recognised World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay
while Mong Cai city introduced its cultural, sea-island, and border tourism
development.



The two Chinese localities also introduced their potential for
cultural, resort, border tourism development.



Over the past years, the four localities have gained significant
achievements in tourism cooperation. The effectiveness is yet to match the
potential.



The two sides need to boost their exchange and connection to
develop their own special products. More communications and advertisement
campaigns should be launched, while state management on tourism should be
strengthened, and experience exchanged.-VNA
