An Giang opens smart tourism portal

This is an important event for provincial tourism, a major transformation in both thinking and action, from developing tourism in the traditional way to applying information technology to develop into a smart, convenient, and effective tourism industry, serving tourists, people and businesses.

An Giang is a locality with diverse and rich tourism potential, a land of cultural exchange between Kinh-Khmer-Hoa-Cham ethnic groups, with famous landscapes, historical relics, unique culture, cuisine and typical tourism products.

In recent times, An Giang tourism industry has made remarkable progress and achieved important and very encouraging results. In 2023, An Giang welcomed about 8.5 million visitors; of which, over 700 thousand stayed.

However, An Giang tourism industry is also facing many difficulties and challenges. Among them is increasingly fierce competition from other provinces and cities nationwide in applying information technology to build smart tourism, meeting the increasing needs of tourists.

The smart tourism portal (http://checkinangiang.vn) and the Checkin An Giang mobile application are the first steps in building and developing a smart tourism ecosystem in the digital transformation of the tourism industry, connecting entities operating in the tourism industry of An Giang province together.

Through the construction and effective operation of this tourism portal, the capacity to meet the increasing needs of tourists is gradually improved, aiming to provide tourists with smart utilities and features, applying advanced and modern technology such as augmented reality, 360 ⁰ images and video clips, 3D interactive tourism, etc.

The smart tourism portal (http://checkinangiang.vn) is also a favorable premise for developing digital tourism, quickly accessing many new, modern, and attractive tourism trends, stimulating the growth and sustainable development of An Giang tourism.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Le Van Phuoc, Permanent Vice Chairman of An Giang Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that the opening of the Tourism Information Portal and smart tourism application on mobile devices will achieve many important results.

From there, it will be a premise to promote tourism development of the province in the coming time, meeting the requirements of developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector according to Resolution No. 08-NQ/TW dated January 16, 2017 of the Politburo.

Mr. Le Van Phuoc suggested that the An Giang Provincial Trade and Investment Promotion Center coordinate with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and related units to carry out good propaganda work so that many people know and use it.

Relevant units continue to rectify tourism business activities, improve quality, ensure a green, clean, safe and civilized tourism environment, contributing to promoting rapid and sustainable development of An Giang tourism.
