Overview of the seminar.

At the seminar, the leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism introduced the tourism potential of Nghe An, the exploitation direction and the effectiveness of Nghe An tourism in recent times. One of the solutions that Nghe An is aiming for is to strengthen promotion through connections within the province, domestically, and internationally to develop and exploit tourism potential.

Mr. Ha Van Sieu - Deputy General Director of the General Department of Tourism - Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism hopes that in the coming time, the tourism potential of Nghe An will be exploited and promoted through the system of domestic and international propaganda agencies.

The representative of the Central Propaganda Department said that in order to develop tourism, Nghe An needs to improve the quality of human resource training.

Mr. Hoang Du - Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Sports Newspaper commented: Nghe An has many culinary tourism products that are much more delicious than other places such as Cau Don goat, Thanh Chuong pickled vegetables, Quy Chau duck... but they have not yet built a brand and have not been promoted to make them known to many people.

With the aim of strengthening the coordination of propaganda and promotion on mass media in the province and in the country. The discussion received many contributions from delegates such as: Nghe An needs to clearly identify its tourism strengths, the direction of tourism development in the coming time and especially the limitations of Nghe An tourism.

Most delegates agreed that Nghe An has many tourism products, but why hasn't it built a brand that has the power to spread? Let's think about building a short film with a storyline to promote...

Travel agencies in the province need to be responsible for linking the development of intra-provincial tourism, in building tours from Nghe An to neighboring provinces and the region. It is necessary to strengthen the promotion and propaganda of Nghe An tourism at each time, with specific plans and clear strategies.

At the seminar, Nghe An province also determined: In the coming time, it will continue to effectively exploit the province's tourism resources, increase resources to develop infrastructure and technical facilities, proactively integrate and link Nghe An tourism with national and international tourism, ensuring rapid and sustainable development.

Tourism development must be closely linked with the task of cultural development, especially the preservation, maintenance and promotion of national cultural identity, traditional education, environmental protection, maintaining political security and social order and safety, and protecting border and island sovereignty.
