Can Tho Promotes Tourism Potential in Thailand

Can Tho City, the heart of Vietnam's Mekong Delta, has launched a tourism promotion program targeting the Thai market. Hoang Diem Hanh, Minister Counsellor at the Embassy of Vietnam in Thailand, welcomed Can Tho's choice of Thailand for this initiative, stating it offers an opportunity not only to introduce the city's attractions but also to exchange experiences in developing tourism linked to preserving traditional cultural values. The promotion is part of a series of events commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Thailand. People-to-people and cultural ties have long strengthened the friendship between the two nations. Vietnam Airlines has increased its weekly flights to Thailand to nearly 70, further facilitating travel. Can Tho City aims to attract Thai tourists by leveraging its rich natural landscapes and unique floating market culture in the Mekong Delta. This promotion is expected to enhance Can Tho's visibility in Thailand and attract new tourist segments. In Vietnam's single-party system, revitalizing regional economies is a key policy objective for the central government, with tourism promotion serving as a pillar of economic growth. Furthermore, for Vietnam, which navigates a complex relationship with China, deepening economic and cultural exchanges with Southeast Asian nations, including Thailand, holds strategic importance for maintaining and expanding its regional influence.
