Can Tho - The newly merged city of Can Tho is expected to become an ideal destination for the travel journey to the West.

The event of merging the three localities of Can Tho, Hau Giang and Soc Trang into the new city of Can Tho is a historic milestone, opening an era of development for the Mekong Delta region. In the tourism sector alone, Can Tho promises to become an unprecedentedly diverse and attractive destination, where visitors can fully explore the West in one journey.

From the existing advantage of a type I urban area, Can Tho tourism industry said it will continue to promote the strengths of Ben Ninh Kieu - a symbol of dynamism and charm.

Visitors can relax by strolling along the riverbank, admiring the pedestrian bridge, enjoying street food and experiencing a cruise on the Hau River to feel the vibrant rhythm of the city at night. The merger also facilitates the development of walking neighborhoods, shopping malls and modern entertainment areas.

In addition to the familiar journey from Cai Rang Floating Market to Con Son Agricultural Tourism Cooperative with fruit-laden fruit-laden gardens, now, visitors can expand their trip to the poetic Nga Bay River.

According to Ms. Le Thi Be Bay, who has devoted all her efforts to building a community tourism model in Con Son, this connection will create a strong and widespread effect in the community, bringing visitors unforgettable experiences. This is even more meaningful when sustainable tourism in the Mekong Delta region moves towards renewable tourism.

Mr. Tang Thanh Trung, a tour guide in Nga Bay City, also hopes that the convergence point of the seven major canals in Nga Bay will attract tourists in the coming time. The National Historical Site of the Southern Military Commission (at Nga Bay), with its profound historical significance, will be more widely known through new tour design programs.

Innovation in mergers is also a lever to help Nga Bay receive stronger investment in infrastructure, including more accommodation and dining facilities to serve tourists.

In particular, on the journey to learn about the new Can Tho, spiritual tourism is a type that tourists should not miss. The massive Khmer temple system and unique architecture of famous pagodas such as Chua Chieu, Chua Doi, Chua Dat Set... will create a unique highlight, enriching the cultural identity of this land.

However, to maximize the potential of "one in the West" tourism, tourism experts emphasized that Can Tho City needs to have synchronous and bold strategies. First of all, it is the overall tourism planning, including building an integrated tourism planning, linking the outstanding destinations of all three localities into attractive routes and tours, diversifying tourism products.

In particular, Can Tho needs to focus on developing copper infrastructure from upgrading and expanding the road and waterway transportation system, ensuring convenient connection between tourist destinations; investing in high-quality accommodation and services to meet the increasing needs of tourists.

Along with that, it is necessary to improve the quality of tourism services through training a team of professional, friendly and knowledgeable human resources in local culture.
