An Giang to boost tourism sector

The southern province of An Giang will invest around VND26 billion (US$1.2 million) in boosting tourism this year, an increase of 15 per cent against 2010.

Of the total, VND11.1 billion ($516,000) will come from the provincial budget.

Deputy chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Huynh The Nang admitted investment attraction to the province’s tourism sector had remained restricted due to the delay in several transport projects including the An Giang Highway and Vam Cong Bridge.

Besides speeding up the projects to improve traffic infrastructure, the province this year would also pay attention to environmental protection to attract investors and tourists.
