More tourism facilities are being built, and popular attractions are being upgraded to lure more visitors.
Vice-Governor of Luang Prabang province, Bounleuan Manivong, told reporters that the eponymous provincial capital is a magnet to visitors in the South-East Asian country as well as those from abroad.
To lure more visitors, provincial authorities are building more tourism facilities, and tourism operators have refurbished or upgraded popular attractions and improved hospitality services. Luang Prabang province recorded more than 273,000 visitors in the first three months of 2023, generating over US$157mil in revenue.
“Luang Prabang is a small charming town surrounded by rivers and mountains. I wish more people would travel to Luang Prabang, so that they can see its beauty,” said Bounmany Phomsy, a local vendor. “The China-Laos Railway has made travelling to the province much easier. And I believe more Chinese tourists will come to Laos because they could travel by cross-border passenger trains.”Since the inauguration of the China-Laos Railway in December 2021, many people had flocked to Luang Prabang province. In the first 10 months of 2022, 335,794 tourists, accounting for 85.27% of the total, arrived in Luang Prabang by the train.
