Caravan visitors deeply impressed by Hue
|
|
An international caravan delegation left the former imperial city of Hue on September 7 after traveling through China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
The convoy of 30 caravans carrying 150 reporters, representatives of international travel agents and businesspeople started its trip from Nanning, China on August 18, and traversed through Laos, Thailand and the central region of Vietnam.
This is the biggest international caravan group to visit Hue since early this year.
They visited My Son, Hoi An, Danang and tourist sites in Hue on September 5-6, which they said left a deep impression on them. They were also very happy with their trip, going through a lot of beautiful scenery and discovered some new tourism sites.
Hue has received many caravan delegations in recent years, and more visitors are choosing this kind of tourism because they can stop and relax whenever and wherever they want.
Travel agents in Hue are preparing appropriate infrastructure and services for visitors during the peak tourist season that begins in October.
