Lack of product and goods introduction points to serve tourists
Every year, Nghe An welcomes about 5 million visitors. However, in reality, it has been difficult for tourists to find gifts that are products with the traditional identity of the locality. The souvenir market is still monotonous and has not made an impression even though the province has many traditional craft villages (stone carving, wooden handicrafts, rattan and bamboo weaving, brocade weaving, silk weaving, embroidery, carving, products processed from agricultural and seafood products, etc.). This has significantly affected the attraction and development of the tourism sector.
Therefore, in order for the province's tourism to develop commensurate with its inherent potential, bring in large revenues, create more jobs and improve living standards, contribute to promoting the image of Nghe An land and people, etc., it is extremely necessary to build showrooms and introduce products to develop products and souvenirs to serve tourists in Nghe An province.
Hon Mat Eco-tourism and Hotel tourist destination of Hon Mat Service and Tourism Company Limited, Nghia Loc Commune, Nghia Dan District, Nghe An Province, has a favorable geographical location right next to Ho Chi Minh Road. This is a destination that brings visitors many experiences and attractive services such as: checking in and taking photos at the 1.5-hectare flower hill, cruising on the dam, enjoying specialties on the floating restaurant, fishing, camping, organizing team building sessions, gala dinners... In addition, there are also experiential education services, water sports...
In the tourist tours, besides the main needs of accommodation, travel and sightseeing, the shopping needs of tourists, especially buying local souvenirs, are also of great concern. Therefore, Hon Mat Service and Tourism Company Limited wishes and is dedicated to building a showroom and introducing souvenir products at tourist destinations to display and sell souvenir products and goods to tourists, increasing the attractiveness of the destination; encouraging tourists to spend and promoting the image of tourism. Thereby, creating jobs and increasing income for people, improving the economy, especially in rural areas.
