Ca Mau to Restore Tourism Post Pandemic

Tran Hieu Hung, director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Ca Mau, said that the department had issued a plan to restore tourism development in the last months of 2021 and 2022, to carry out a number of activities for developing the local tourism industry after the Covid-19 pandemic is controlled.

According to Hung, Ca Mau's tourism industry has been heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the fourth outbreak of the disease, the tourism industry has "frozen" many activities, and events have been interrupted or delayed.

“It is very necessary for a recovery plan to get ready at the end of this year, and at the same time as a premise to promote tourism development in Ca Mau in the following years after the pandemic is under control. The tourism industry is prepared to be one step ahead, so that Ca Mau can quickly recover the tourism industry post pandemic," he said.

Accordingly, Ca Mau has conducted a survey, supported and guided tourism service businesses to implement measures to prevent and control the disease, setting safety assessment criteria in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 for tourism activities.

At the same time, Ca Mau is reviewing and grasping the situation of human resources, recruiting workers at tourism service businesses, and opening training classes under the Tourism Promotion Program in 2021.

Along with that, tourism services in Ca Mau are upgrading their facilities and creatively building new products for the recovery of tourism.
