Lao Cai targets a million visitors

The mountainous province of Lao Cai aims to receive 1 million arrivals this year, earning VND2 trillion (US$95.2 million) from tourism services, according to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

To reach the target, the department has further promoted its tourism potential and co-operation with other localities as well as guided local tourist companies to stabilise their prices.

During the first six months of this year, the province has welcomed over 600,000 visitors, including 260,000 foreigners, up 9 per cent year-on-year. Visitors to Lao Cai reached 969,000 last year.
