Through the survey, several travel businesses from Vinh Long province and Can Tho city highly appreciated the landscapes, strengths, and infrastructure of the destinations. They also noted that they would study the sites further and were ready to cooperate in promoting them to their customer base, thereby creating opportunities for connection and market development for both the enterprises and the local destinations.
