The local tourism sector also received a boost from the agreement on tourism cooperation signed between the Ministers of Culture, Sports and Tourism from Mekong Sub-region nations, which allows tourists to use one visa for Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand, Dung added.
He said that Thua Thien – Hue , with its popular tourism destinations and beautiful beaches, will attract more holiday-makers from Thailand and other nations around the region.
