The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism has launched a programme to promote in-country tourism by Vietnamese as part of national efforts to mobilise the national economy.

• Quang Ninh holds exhibition on World Heritage sites in Viet Nam
• Forbes ranked Vietnam as one of the most attractive destinations in 2015

The programme, with the tagline Each Voyage Makes You Love the Country More, aims to encourage Vietnamese to show national pride, Nguyen Van Tuan, general director of VNAT, said.

"We want to encourage Vietnamese people to travel across Vietnam to boost in-country tourism, particularly in mountainous, remote areas and islands, where tourism can support local economic development," Tuan said.

The programme is expected to increase revenue for low-income residents in mountainous and coastal regions, he said. On top of the tangible economic benefits, touring in-country would also show stir a love for country.

"When living and economic conditions improve, people will prefer overseas tours," he said. "However, Vietnam is long and vast, and there are many places we can visit."

The tourism administration will encourage people to visit museums and other cultural and historical sites in Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Haiphong, Thua Thien Hue, Danang, Quang Ngai (Ly Son island), Khanh Hoa, HCM City and Kien Giang (Phu Quoc island).

They'll also encourage travel agencies to organise tours to visit people living in coastal regions, particularly fishermen living in Danang, Khanh Hoa, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai, as well as members of the Vietnamese navy.

Return visitors

The tourism administration also aims to promote the country's tourism options to Vietnamese people living abroad.

It hopes they will come back not just to admire the country's beauty and help the economy, but also to promote the image of Viet Nam oversaeas.

To attract more tourism throughout Viet Nam, the tourism administration will encourage tourist sites and airlines to reduce ticket prices to potential tourist hot spots, such as Tay Nguyen, Quang Binh, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh and Can Tho.

The administration will set up group of volunteers to give tourists information. People living in the countryside, or in mountainous or coastal areas, will be encouraged to provide home-stay facilities for tourists.

Several travel agencies have responded positively to the initiative, offering to provide new tours and discounts, but said they need more co-operation from the administration.

They said that to encourage travel agencies to participate in the stimulation programme, the State must put policies in place to support them, including tax cuts, several travel agency directors said at the conference held in Hanoi on November 28.

They added that the State needed to resolve several difficulties in the tourism industry, such as tour guide quality deficiencies, a lack of people working in hospitality, and issues with security at tourist sites.

"Many young tour guides don't have enough knowledge about the culture and history of the country," said Nguyen Dinh Thanh, the director of Vitour Danang. "They should take part in professional training before becoming tour guides."

Rising prices at tourism destinations have also discouraged visitors, he said.

Thanh said Vitour Danang would offer new tours, including Heritage Journey and Central Region Heaven, which will include beach resorts and nature tours; and Heritage Journey of the Central Region, offering tours of cultural heritage sites.

Vitour Danang would also upgrade accommodation and organise gala dinners and art performances - all at 20% to 30% discounts.

In recent years, more Vietnamese people are taking vacations during national holidays, Tet and summer. About 35.5 million Vietnamese people travelled within Vietnam in the first 11 months of 2014, and the number is expected to reach 41.5 million next year.

To feel the ends of the grandeur of the limestone islands, exploring all impassive cliffs between immense waves roll, watching the sea birds on the edge protruding into the water or touch the thousand year old stalactites can only by kayak. According to me, explore by kayak on Halong cruises enjoy sitting on the train than ten thousand times greater.

Acquainted with kayak

Tame your kayak is not simple. An experienced coach said: "The professional athletes to spend the first half for the swivel sticks on shore. And the first three months of technical training only on shore that had never been under water. But for amateurs, not put high demands on toughness technical and should only take about four classes can be equipped with the basic techniques. "Short 15 minute training for crews that help us become only the rowers ' super amateur".

The most basic skills of the kayak is to keep his balance. One of the most important exercises that have to come out of the boat when it flipped. Crush kayak very shallow but deep leg room back toward the boat when the boat flipped so that could not get out, the water will surely suffocate. A valuable lesson to remember is climbing on top or bottom of the boat, not to climb from the hip.

Oars two started very light, so as a toy. Several crew said that, the price per paddle up to cash million. Yellow kayak, floating like buoys. A two person, unfortunately we started dancing wildly. Boats spinning five minutes and started to glide smoothly over the water, rolling waves.


Wild cave

Journey 's first kayak, I went to the beach cavity, cave Buddhism and Theosophy. Road to the cave is very difficult. Moss everywhere, slippery. Evening trap, have a moment, I was accustomed to the dim light began to cave explorer with many twists zag path. It just rocks, but is diverse, and has not affected, even the smallest, man. Fumbled in the cave, so infatuated view as silk soft rock, I occasionally come across a gap, large enough to spill into the sunlight. Long way, but I just turn out to conquer winding bend leaning in the mountains unfurl to take visitors to the upper cave, located halfway up the mountain.

Destination second queue. Water Kayak acres immense sky, my hand on a hot water during cool while light waves licking the side of the boat. The boat slowly enters the queue, but the cave is only about 1 m from the surface. More and more rowing in the dark, the sudden appearance of stalactites, horizontal drop down front. Feeling so low that if we are not careful, I will first docked. Chen has numerous cave full of stalactites and dense shapes of bat hanging upside calm. Deep inward rapture is beautiful lake hidden in limestone mountains.

The last point that the rowers are Luon Cave toward. Sea of green here and calm as freshwater lakes on the mainland. Kayak close to shore mountains, the party discovered the cave adjacent to the water's edge, open bow-shaped island at the foot of the escarpment as a gateway into a superficial world. Background underwater cave and stretching nearly 20 meters through rocky island. Rowing crept deep inside, I discovered a saltwater tank with sea food information externally. Vast lake, four sides are high cliffs, steep enclosed.

Another day gone whiz kayak athletes. Upon seeing weary of the crowd can not hide " sub- directory, the city's website ," our tour guide said the Gulf has countless magic island filled with people who love kayak. Paddle once held, no one wants to watch the world natural heritage by sitting on a cruise ship. Surely then, one good reason to be against him?
