Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Thao, Vice Chairwoman of the People's Council of Con Dao district, welcomed the delegation and shared the orientation of Con Dao tourism development. 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.
