The Mekong Delta, one of Vietnam's key tourism regions, has worked hard in developing new products and promoting its offerings this year, achieving impressive results in visitor numbers and revenue from tourism and related services.

With its indigenous culture formed by friendly and generous people, natural landscape and areas of lush gardens, the Mekong Delta region boasts great potential and a good foundation to develop community-based tourism.

The Vietnam International Travel Mart Can Tho (VITM Can Tho) 2019 will take place in the Mekong Delta city from November 29 to December 1, according to the event’s organising board.

The southernmost province of Ca Mau has taken steps to tap into its potential and make the most of its advantages towards speeding up tourism development.

Localities in the western region of the Mekong Delta need to foster regional cooperation to create highly competitive tourism products, officials have said.

The 5th Mekong Delta investment forum (MekongInvest 2017) took place in Can Tho city on October 25 to call for investment in tourism projects across 13 regional localities.

Events to promote culture and tourism will be held in Hanoi from November 15 to 18, with the participation of 12 provinces and Mekong Delta region's Can Tho city.
