Implementing Resolution No. 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, the Lao Cai Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism coordinates with IGB Joint Stock Company to research and develop Lao Cai Smart Tourism App on digital platforms.
A notable point of Lao Cai Tour is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), digital maps, destination information, visual images, QR codes and many smart utilities.
Through the application, tourists can proactively search for information, choose destinations, build itineraries and explore Lao Cai's cultural features, landscapes, and people in a digital environment.
Not only aimed at tourists, Lao Cai Tour also creates a digital space for businesses, cooperatives and business establishments to promote products and services, reach customers and expand tourism business activities.
Putting the application into operation is expected to contribute to gradually forming a synchronous and modern digital tourism ecosystem, improving the tourist experience and increasing connectivity between subjects in the tourism industry.
At the ceremony, leaders of Lao Cai province officially pressed the button to launch the Lao Cai Tour Smart Tourism Application, marking a new step in the digital transformation process of the tourism sector.
After the launching ceremony, localities are requested to closely coordinate with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to regularly update and supplement data on the application, ensuring information about destinations, products and tourism services is increasingly complete and accurate.
Maintaining and updating data is identified as an important factor to promote the effectiveness of Lao Cai Tour, while contributing to building digital government, digital economy, digital society and creating motivation to promote Lao Cai tourism development in a sustainable direction.
