The northern province of Quang Ninh will open a tourism office in Jeju Island, the Republic of Korea, to promote its image and attract more tourists from the market.
This has been pledged in a contract signed by the Quang Ninh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Jeju Administration of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Mr. Lam Van Vinh, Director of the Quang Ninh Tourism Promotion Centre, said that the two sides agreed to cooperate in developing new tourist products and boost tourism advertising. Jeju Island will help Quang Ninh open a tourism office on the famous destination and assist the province to train human resources.
Jeju and Quang Ninh both have landscapes recognised as new world natural wonders, creating opportunities for tourism cooperation, he added.
RoK tourists to Vietnam and Quang Ninh grew sharply. Last year, more than 700,000 tourists from the land of kimchi visited the country. In the first nine months this year, the number reached more than 562,000 arrivals./.
