(Vietnam Visa)
- Saigon Tourist Travel Company has just announced the opening of seven
new river tours that will take tourists around Ho Chi Minh City via
canals and rivers.
Nguyen
Thi Hong, Deputy Chairwoman of the People's Committee in Ho Chi Minh,
said that opening these river tours on two main rivers in the City,
namely Saigon River and Dong Nai River, will prove beneficial for
tourism.
For
years, the City ran river tours but these still were ineffective.
Therefore, the City asked Saigon Tourist Company to promote and exploit
more river tours in a bid to attract more local and international
holidaymakers, said Hong.
The
tours will depart daily from Bach Dang Pier and will serve food on
board. From here, tourists can choose to travel to seven destinations
including Dong Tay Highway, Binh Quoi, Cu Chi Tunnels, Can Gio, Vam Sat
Tourism Center, orchards in Long Phuoc Ward in District 9, and Phu My
Hung New Urban Area in District 7.
Tickets will range from VND295,000 to VND1.68 million per passenger.
