Ambassador Dinh Toan Thang said tourism plays an important role in connecting the two peoples and expressed his belief that stronger engagement of the French in Quang Binh’s tourism and business climate will bring about common prosperity for both sides.

The event saw memoranda of understanding on investment cooperation signed between the leaders of the Quang Binh Department of Tourism and representatives of the Vietnam Cultural and tourism promotion association in Europe, Vivu Journey branches in Portugal and Spain, and the Vietravel branch in Europe.

Speaking to the VNA on the sidelines of the conference, Gwenaelle Mary, representing IFTM Top Resa – a major tourism expo in France, noted that Vietnam possesses many cultural and natural advantages, that will attract French tourists who are keen on exploring Asia.

Vice President of the Vietnam cultural and tourism promotion association in Europe Thai Thanh Khiem also recommended that the province collaborate with travel companies in France and Europe to step up communications activities targeting visitors in the area.
