Cua Lo readies for a summer tourism festival

Authorities in the central province of Nghe An have said the coastal town of Cua Lo will develop its own tourism trademark.
Chairman of the Cua Lo Town People's Committee, Doan Tien Dung, confirmed this when announcing a tourism festival would open in the town on April 30, the day that marks the 40th anniversary of the country's reunification (April 30, 1975). The festival will feature various activities including a dragon boat race on May 1.
Dung said the town has organised various tours including Cua Lo-Nam Dan (the motherland of former President Ho Chi Minh), Cua Lo-Lam River-Cui Temple and Cua Lo-Vinh City-Kim Lien Village-Pu Mat Primitive Forest tours, and a cruise to Lan Chau Island, Tortoise Cave and Fairy Island.
He said the town has added 500 more rooms to accommodate 19,000 guests per night. Its first four-star hotel, Muong Thanh, will open during the festival. The hotel has 249 sea-facing rooms, and is located 10km from the Vinh airport and 15km from the Vinh railway station.
