Danang fireworks expects to attract 400,000 tourists
Every year, more tourists are coming to the annual Danang international fireworks competition, which has helped the city develop its tourism trademark.
Around 300,000 tourists visited Danang in 2011, ten times more than in 2008, when the first international fireworks competition was held.
The organizers forecast that the fifth fireworks competition on April 29-30 this year will attract 400,000 local and foreign tourists. They have already sold 40,000 tickets to the festival goers and mobilized 2,000 logistics and security personnel.
A number of travel operators have prepared short tours for visitors from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to visit the local sites and adjacent provinces.
A culture, cuisine and tourism festival will also be held north of the Han River Bridge from April 28 to May 2.
Located in central Vietnam, Danang is the third largest centrally-run city after Hanoi and HCM City.
Sa Pa aims to capture international tourists
Sa Pa town in the northern province of Lao Cai is set to become an international standard tourist site able to receive 3-4 million visitors annually by 2030.
Under a plan recently announced by Lao Cai People’s Committee, Sa Pa is expected to record an average growth rate of 7.2 percent annually, becoming an economic and cultural centre of the province.
The plan is the outcome of cooperation between the Lao Cai People’s Committee and experts of the Aquitaine region of France .
The town will work as a cultural bridge for ethnic minorities in the northern region and a key trade hub in the north-western mountainous region and the Vietnam-China border area.
According to the plan, Sa Pa and its adjacent localities will be divided into five major tourist areas which will be developed on the basis of tourism themes including heritage tourism, in combination with agricultural ecological landscapes, primeval tourism, and tourism exploring the cultures of ethnic minorities.
Sa Pa town will be developed into nine sub-divisions, including a 363ha core urban area with an expected population of 13,000 people.
During the development process, attention will be paid to issues regarding technological infrastructure and environmental pollution.
