CAN THO - A seminar on agrotourism is scheduled to kick off on July 8 at the Broadcasting and Television of Hau Giang Province (HGTV) to help develop the province into a popular destination in terms of ecotourism and agrotourism.

The seminar, themed “Jointly develop agrotourism,” is being co-organized by the Saigon Times Group, the provincial People’s Committee and HGTV.

By joining the event, participants, including experts at home and abroad, businesspeople and local farmers, will have the chance to share experiences in operating agrotourism activities around the world and throughout Vietnam and to suggest cooperation plans for the province to develop agrotourism.

Phan Dinh Hue, director of travel firm Viet Circle, will deliver a speech on strategies to develop agrotourism in connection with Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, which covers over 2,800 hectares of land.

Meanwhile, a session on agrotourism developments in the central city of Hoi An and the Mekong Delta region will be presented by Nguyen Su, former Party chief of Hoi An City.

In addition, Stiermann Martin, director of Ricefield Lodge, will discuss joint efforts in agrotourism development in Hau Giang.

With 15 years of development, Hau Giang is expected to become a green agricultural center in the Mekong Delta region, according to Le Tien Chau, chairman of the provincial government. The provincial Party Committee issued Resolution 09 on developing the province’s tourism until 2020, with a vision toward 2030.

The Mekong Delta province is set to attract one million tourists by 2025, including 70,000 international arrivals, generating more than VND1.4 trillion in total revenue and 4,200 jobs for local residents.

In addition to developing the tourism infrastructure and tourism products, the province is currently bolstering State management activities related to tourism, launching tourism promotion programs, improving manpower quality in the field and raising public awareness of tourism development.
