Thai is top foreign visitors to Hue

More and more visitors from Thailand are traveling to Hue via the West-East Economic Corridor.

The number of Thai visitors to Hue increased from 4.7 percent in 2005 to 24 percent in 2010, putting them at the top of the list of foreign arrivals in Hue. As many as 6,000 Thai visitors arrived in Hue in a single day this year.

This is the result of close coordinated efforts between Vietnam, Laos and Thailand in improving transport infrastructure, expanding trade across the borders and reforming immigration procedures to create favourable conditions for tourism services to develop.

The West-East Economic Corridor stretches through Myanmar, Thailand and Laos to Vietnam. There is high hope that visitors will prefer to travel to Hue by road.

The province of Thua Thien-Hue had received 1.36 million visitors as of early December, a year-on-year increase of 11.7 percent, and earned VND774 billion, up 20.4 percent. The number of foreign visitors to Hue City increased by 7.9 percent. – VOV
