Linkage to develop Mekong Delta tourism

The total turnover from Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta tourism has reached over VND2,000 billion so far this year, according to the Mekong Delta Tourism Association, an increase of 28.7 percent over the same period last year.
However, some experts say the growth rate of the delta's tourism is still limited when compared to its potential. The reasons for this are poor infrastructure, low quality tourism products, inadequate advertising and promotion, and unqualified human resources as well as, the main reason, the lack of provincial, regional and national cooperation.
The Mekong Delta is a unique network of waterways that are extremely important in both a local and global context.
Each locality in the region has its own tourism features, for example, Kien Giang is famous for superior beach resorts, and Can Tho is known for the Cai Rang floating market.
Tourism in the Mekong Delta will develop well if it creates a network of cooperation in the region.
