Ms. Vi Thi Tham - Director of Coordination CenterdWestern Nghe An tourism

In the context of linking the North Central tourism region, Western Nghe An tourism will contribute significantly with Nghe An tourism to create unique and distinctive products in this chain. However, Western Nghe An tourism still faces many difficulties and challenges, especially the distance between destinations is quite far; the destinations are fragmented. Therefore, the first necessary condition is that the owners of tourist areas and destinations need to change their thinking and raise awareness about connectivity.

With the current trend, tourists do not only visit one place but want to experience many places with different tourism products. Connected destinations can help each other learn, connect, and strengthen community solidarity. From there, together create attractive and diverse tours. Always put the interests of customers first, only then can we develop together and attract tourists.

To connect tourist destinations on the same route, tourism products is decisive inattract tourists. Normally, destinations in the same region share the same tourism resources, have similarities in nature and culture. Therefore, destinations on the same route need to find their own strengths and identities to link together, helping each other grow.

It can be said that travel agencies are both intermediaries connecting tour destinations together, and customers requiring each destination to provide the most unique and different products and services. Therefore, to meet the needs of travel agencies, connecting destinations is a sustainable direction./.
