Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee said that Quang Binh has offered some plans for tourism promotion in many different forms in the past time.

However, there has been little international advertising for Quang Binh so far due to a limited budget although the province has huge potential. This has resulted in very few international tourists visiting the province. Thus, provincial leaders have decided to turn to TripAdvisor for publicity, Vice Chairman Tran Tien Dung added.
