June 28, 2010:
The central province of Quang Tri on June 27 hosted a conference on tourism cooperation with two provinces from Laos and Thailand. The annual event, the sixth of its kind so far, drew Vice Chairman of Quang Tri provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chinh, Deputy Governor of Savannakhet of Laos Suphan Keomisay and Deputy Governor Priasil Sommai of Thailand’s Mukdahan province.
The trio signed up a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), pledging to further streamline entry-exit procedures and facilitate convenience in transportation of tourists in line with law of individual countries.
The MoU also highlighted mutual tourist promotion, tourist infrastructure development and encouraging partnership or joint ventures between travel agents from the three provinces.
Progress has been made in tourist cooperation among the three provinces since the previous meeting’s MoU signed in last September, according to a report on the fifth MoU implementation.
The report cited achievements in entry-exit procedures, tourist promotion campaign, tourist products diversification and tour programme expansion to neighbouring provinces.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism highly spoke of progress made by the three provinces in the East-West Corridor tourism.
