Funded by Spanish Government through the Spanish Agency for
International Cooperation and Development, a € 400,000 project was carried out
in some Central Highlands
Addressing the ceremony hosted by the Vietnam National
Administration of Tourism (VNAT) to wrap up the project, Director of the
Institute for Tourism Development Research Ha Van Sieu spoke highly of the
connectivity between the project and other related ones, especially those
implemented in the northern mountainous area.
As part of the project, a community-based tourism website
connecting northwestern provinces was established, serving as a forum for
localities to exchange experience and popularize their images in tourism
development, he said.
It also provided handbooks guiding the management and
development of tourism for managerial staff, and the development of a green
tourism label for shops, restaurants and hotels, Sieu said, adding that these
documents are essential for Vietnam ’s
sustainable tourism development.
Spanish Ambassador to Vietnam Alfonso Tena said Vietnam
is on the right track to improve the quality and diversity of its tourism
services to lure more foreign visitors, citing that the country expects to
welcome 7 million international arrivals this year.
He added that the project, which focused on policies of
social responsibility, aimed to help Vietnam meet international
standards in providing tourism services to attract foreign tourists.
VNAT’s Director General Nguyen Van Tuan said that Vietnam will learn tourism development
experience from Spain
as it ranks second in tourism revenues and fourth in tourist attraction in the
world.
Besides this project, Vietnam
also received support from Spain
through other projects, including those to popularize the Tourism Law, build Vietnam ’s tourism marketing strategy and make
tourism planning for Cat Ba Island and Hue
city.
Tourism cooperation between Vietnam
and Spain has seen positive
developments over the past time, with over 31,300 Spanish tourists visiting Vietnam
in 2012 and 7,200 in the first four months of this year.
