In addition to other potential markets, the tourism sector of the ancient capital is intensifying efforts in promotion, branding, and positioning Hue in European countries. Through a variety of unique programs and activities, Hue’s tourism industry hopes to see strong growth in visitor numbers from this key market in the near future.

According to the information released by the Department of Tourism on the afternoon of February 27, the promotional video for the National Tourism Year – Hue 2025 with the theme “Hue - Ancient Capital - New Opportunities” has just been launched on the Fanpage of Hue City People’s Committee.

Thua Thien Hue, along with Da Nang and Quang Nam, are strengthening cooperation to boost tourism between Vietnam and Australia, particularly by connecting the Australian tourist market with Central Vietnam. By enhancing promotion and advertising of the “Amazing Central Vietnam Heritage” tourism brand in Australia, the goal is to attract visitors from this significant potential market to Central Vietnam in general, and to Hue in particular.

On September 11, the tourism sectors of three localities, including Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, and Quang Nam, jointly organized a tourism promotion program in Melbourne, Australia.

At the 20th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Day event held in 2024 under the theme “20 years of thrilling journey” and accompanied by the program message “Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City” (from April 4th to 7th), the Department of Tourism of Thua Thien Hue Province participated in various promotional and marketing activities.

In 2023, the five localities have promoted tourism linkage and achieved many positive results, especially in product development and tourism promotion. The affiliated group has jointly done promotions at international tourism fairs and organized introduction programs in other countries.

Thua Thien Hue is a land that has all the necessary elements and advantages for the development of wellness tourism (WT). For this type of tourism to develop and attract customers, the construction and promotion of the WT brand needs to be implemented in a systematic and in-depth way.

The Famtrip delegation from the Philippines has recently conducted a survey of tourist attractions in the provincial area. This is an occasion for the provincial tourism sector to push up promotional activities and showcase special local tourist destinations and products to the flow of Filipino visitors in particular and to the market of ASEAN tourists in general.

Tourism is entering the peak season for international visitors. To effectively attract visitors to Hue, the implementation of promotion and advertising work with the right focus is considered a top priority task.

Linkage is an essential element of tourism development and promotion. To foster sustainable tourism, regions in Central Vietnam must engage in research to identify tourism trends and formulate timely, suitable policies for the development of new products. They must also cooperate closely to facilitate tourism growth.
