The luxury cruise ship bringing over 2,000 international tourists is a great opportunity for promoting Con Dao tourism. "In the orientation for Con Dao tourism development, the criteria for servicing high-end visitors, especially international visitors, is an important criteria that the Con Dao tourism industry aims for. And this is a very good opportunity to fulfill this task."
Mr. Michael Goh, Chairman of Resorts World Cruises, shared the reason for choosing Con Dao as a new destination in the journey of Resorts World One, which is to provide unique experiences for tourists and opportunities to explore untouched destinations.
