The first guidebooks for tour operators will be issued in December by Innovo JSC that is known for its brand name City Pass.
The managing director of Innovo, Patrick Gaveau, told the Daily that the City Pass Asia-Vietnam book is written by Vietnamese and foreign professionals.
The book consists of maps, information about entertainment schedules, specialties, restaurants and other activities in Vietnam. It comes with English, French and Italian versions.
The company will add information about Cambodia and Laos, so people traveling in the Indochina region will find it helpful, he said.
Gaveau added his company will publish a guidebook for Vietnamese tourists who travel abroad.
Since 2008, Innovo has published guidebooks about Vietnamese cities and provinces such as HCMC, Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Danang. Those about Hanoi and Ha Long will come out in December.
Late this month, Innovo will publish its first coffee table photo book about Nha Trang tourism in coordination with the Nha Trang tourism promotion center. The photo book consists of photos which tourists can keep as souvenirs when they are back home.
All the guidebooks published by Innovo are available at four-to-five-star hotels, international airports and Fahasa and Phuong Nam bookstores with prices ranging from VND70,000 to VND99,000 each.
