“Back to the Origins” tourism programme attracts over 1.3 million tourists

The northern province of Phu Tho, on October 28th, held a ceremony to review the “Back to the Origins” tourism programme which started in the provinces of Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Phu Tho on January 31st.
According to the National Administration of Tourism, over the past 5 years, the programme has helped further promote tourism in these provinces. In 2009 alone, the programme attracted over 1.3 million of tourists, an increase of 6% over the previous year.
In 2010, with various important events held in Vietnam such as a Great Festival to celebrate 1,000 years of Thang Long-Hanoi, and the National Tourism Year 2010, the programme’s organising panel will have to figure out new tourism products and services in order to ensure future further success.
