Thai tops foreign visitors to Hue

The number of Thai visitors to the ancient capital city of Hue has
increased from 4.7 percent in 2005 to 24 percent in 2010, ranking first
in the list of foreign arrivals to the city.


As many as 6,000 Thai tourists arrived in Hue in a single day this year.


This is the result of the close cooperation between Vietnam , Laos
and Thailand in improving transport infrastructure, expanding trade
exchanges across the borders and reforming migration procedures to
facilitate tourism services.


Especially, the East-West
Economic Corridor stretching through Myanmar , Thailand and Laos
to Vietnam has opened up a lot of economic cooperation opportunities
for member countries and the East sea bordered region, particularly in
the tourism sector.


As of early December this year,
the central province of Thua Thien-Hue had received 1.36 million
visitors, a year-on-year increase of 11.7 percent, of which the number
of foreign visitors to Hue city increased by 7.9 percent. The
province’s tourism industry earned 774 billion VND, up 20.4 percent as
compared to the same period last year./.
