Khanh Hoa looks to expand tourism cooperation with RoK
VOV.VN - Vietnam’s central Khanh Hoa province is looking to learn from Jeju’s tourism experience, particularly in marine sports, while strengthening air links, business ties and destination promotion to retain and expand the market in the Republic of Korea.
During a current working visit to the Republic of Korea, a Khanh Hoa delegation met with representatives from management agencies, associations and businesses to explore tourism models that could be adapted to the province’s own conditions.
One area of particular interest is the development of marine sports and recreational tourism products, including a plan to establish a kiteboarding centre in the My Hoa area of Vinh Hai commune.
On September 14, the delegation, led by Nguyen Long Bien, Permanent Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, paid a courtesy visit to Vietnamese Ambassador Vu Ho and held talks with Lee Chang Kun, Vietnam’s Tourism Ambassador to the RoK at the Vietnamese Embassy in Seoul.
At the meeting, Lee spoke highly of the potential for tourism promotion and cooperation between Khanh Hoa and the RoK, noting that Nha Trang–Khanh Hoa has consistently been among the priority destinations in Vietnam’s tourism promotion activities in the Korean market.
He expressed hope that tourism authorities, local administrations, associations and businesses from both countries would further strengthen their connections and translate cooperation orientations into practical programmes to boost visitor exchanges and promote destinations.
Bien, for his part, said Khanh Hoa considers the Republic of Korea one of its key tourism markets and seeks to strengthen ties with Jeju in tourism, marine sports and aviation. The province proposed joint promotional programmes, familiarisation trips and press trips, the development of two-way tourism products, and closer links among airlines and travel businesses.
Of particular note, Khanh Hoa hopes to receive support in connecting with partners to conduct market research, develop visitor demand and explore the possibility of restoring the Cam Ranh–Jeju air route. The province also plans to promote its tourism products in the Republic of Korea and connect Korean investors with potential projects in Khanh Hoa.
