Speaking at the conference, Mr. Bui Dinh Long - Vice Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee stated: Nghe An and Dak Lak are two provinces with many diverse, rich and unique natural and human resources, creating advantages for the economic and tourism development of each province.

Although geographically far apart, thanks to the Vinh - Buon Ma Thuot flight route, people and tourists of the two provinces have favorable conditions to travel and visit relatives. Seizing that opportunity, the tourism industry of the two provinces has proactively signed and implemented a tourism development cooperation program. Along with that, the destinations and tourism products of the two provinces have many unique, outstanding and complementary characteristics, contributing to promoting the growth of tourist exchange between the two provinces in recent times.

Dak Lak is one of the favorite destinations of Nghe An people. And Nghe An identifies the Central Highlands in general and Dak Lak in particular as the target domestic tourist market that the tourism industry is looking forward to promoting further growth in the coming time.

In recent years, the Department of Tourism of Nghe An and the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Dak Lak province have agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in tourism development between the two localities, mainly focusing on 4 areas: Cooperation in exchanging information on tourism development; cooperation in developing tourism products; cooperation in promoting and advertising tourism; cooperation in planning and calling for investment.

The two localities have supported each other in promoting and advertising tourism at local cultural and political events; actively participated in conferences, fairs and exhibitions hosted by the provinces, and jointly organized booths at seminars and tourism fairs.

Regularly exchange information on tourism promotion, investment cooperation, and tourism development policies of each locality to promptly update and provide the most accurate information, promoting tourism images to the people. Periodically exchange information on the implementation of cooperation plans that the localities have signed. In addition, businesses and investors of the two localities have coordinated, invested in construction, and put into operation many tourism projects and works...

In the coming time, the two localities will continue to maintain the agreed mechanism in the tourism development cooperation program between the two sides that is still valid. Cooperate and link when participating in domestic and foreign tourism fairs and exhibitions with many diverse and rich forms to create a special mark for the tourism program between the two sides.

In his closing speech at the conference, Mr. H'Yim Kđok - Vice Chairman of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee hoped that in the coming time, the two localities would regularly review, summarize, evaluate, draw lessons and propose new development solutions. It is necessary to innovate the way of working, connect and develop so that tourists coming and going between the two localities can benefit from common preferential policies and services commensurate with the strengths of each locality. Organize delegations to survey tourism products, connect with tourism businesses of the two provinces, creating conditions for localities in the region to become familiar destinations for domestic and foreign tourists./.
