Central coastal town readies for summer vacation

The central Nghe An province’s authorities said the new theme of the coastal town of Cua Lo in the summer vacation would be "Cua Lo Tourism: Order as Trademark".

Chairman of Cua Lo Town People's Committee Doan Tien Dung confirmed a tourism festival would be launched in the town on April 30, which would also be the 40th anniversary of the country reunification (April 30, 1975). The festival will have various art activities and a dragon boat race on May 1.

Dung said the locality has organised various tours such as Cua Lo–Nam Dan (the motherland of former President Ho Chi Minh), Cua Lo–Lam River–Cui Temple and Cua Lo–Vinh City-Kim Lien Village–Pu Mat Primitive Forest tours, and a cruise to Lan Chau Island, Tortoise Cave and Fairy Island.

He said the town added 500 more rooms this year to offer accommodation to 19,000 guests per night. The first four-star Muong Thanh Hotel will be opened on this occasion in the town. The hotel has 249 sea-facing rooms, and is located 10km from Vinh airport and 15km from Vinh railway station.
