On the morning of March 16, leaders of Con Cuong district and representatives of Nghe An Department of Tourism held a discussion with 18 travel agencies under Nghe An Tourism Association to discuss the sustainable development of community tourism in the West. At the discussion, representatives of 18 travel agencies gave their assessments of tourist destinations in the West of Nghe An, specifically the destinations for the group's 2-day, 1-night trip in Con Cuong.

Travel agencies said that Con Cuong is a place with tourism potential with wild and unexplored landscapes. After the survey, travel agencies realized that Con Cuong tourism is not only potential but also starting to exploit and improve services. However, tourists are mainly individual travelers, so Con Cuong tourism has not been able to develop strongly.

Currently, Con Cuong tourism still has many points to discuss such as destinations without specific planning, no stalls selling specialties, lack of services for tourists to immerse themselves in the living space of local people. Besides, concerns about waterway traffic safety when traveling on Giang River, food safety are also mentioned by all parties.

Mr. Ta Khac Uyen, Chairman of Nghe An Tourism Association, shared that community tourism is still quite new in Nghe An. This is a form of tourism that brings many profits to the locality, especially to the local people. At the discussion, Mr. Uyen hoped for more participation and support from functional agencies and local authorities to create conditions for Nghe An tourism businesses to develop in Con Cuong.

At the seminar, Con Cuong leaders thanked the tourism units for their attention and accepted their suggestions to find solutions to exploit the local tourism strengths.
