Can Tho becomes a destination attractive for Japanese tourists
According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO), Mekong Delta city of Can Tho has become one of the most popular tourist destinations for Japanese visitors.

He explained that due to the peaceful and rural atmosphere that Can Tho City offers, it has attracted many Japanese tourists. “Most of them enjoy ecotourism, together with local attractions, especially Cai Rang Floating Market,” he added.
Local authorities should step up efforts to efficiently promote Can Tho tourism. Many Japanese tourism firms have considered collaborating with the city, however, they were not able to access to necessary tourism-related information.
Takahashi emphasized, as such, multiple destinations in Can Tho City, including Tan Loc Isle, Bang Lang Stork Garden and fruit gardens in Phong Dien area have not had enough support and capacity to thrive. He said that JNTO has planned to organise more activities that further introduce and promote Can Tho tourism to Japanese visitors. He encouraged collaborations between local authorities and Japanese tourism agencies to effectively make the plan work.
While upgrades in infrastructure are required, it is important to preserve physical relics and intangible cultural heritage in Can Tho City. He added that the city should make use of social media platforms to boost tourism and invite popular local and international artists to become ambassadors of the area.
Deputy chairman of the city’s People’s Committee Truong Quang Hoai Nam agreed that more efforts have to be put into promoting Can Tho tourism. He said that though the number of arrivals to the city has significantly increased, many tourists, especially international ones, did not choose to stay in the city for their holiday partly because of a lack of high-quality resorts.
According to Deputy chairman of the city’s People’s Committee Truong Quang Hoai Nam, in the future, local authorities should call for investments in Tan Loc Isle, Bang Lang Stork Garden and Phong Dien Ecotourism Area, among other attractions along the Hau River.
Can Tho is developing the largest horseracing and sports complex in the Mekong Delta in Binh Thuy District’s Long Hoa Ward, worth US$500 million. The project, once completed, is expected to make the city stand out, he added.
