National Tourism Year 2012 helps promote image of Vietnam
Nearly 30 cultural, sport and tourist events were held during National Tourism Year 2012. The host of the campaign this year was Thua Thien Hue - the north central coastal province. Moreover, with the theme - “Heritage Tourism”, the purpose of the programme in 2012 was to confirm the strength of Vietnamese Tourism, especially heritage tourism in the North Central Coast Region where there were various world cultural heritage sites, national relics and interesting festivals. This programme also played an important role in the growth of Vietnamese tourism in 2012, especially by attracting more foreign tourists.
