The Indian billionaire's delegation had unforgettable feelings and impressions when they set foot in Ninh Binh. They are the "ambassadors" who will contribute to bringing the image of the nature and people of the ancient capital closer to Indian and international friends.
In recent days, thousands of tourists in the Indian billionaire's 4,500-person group have had memorable experiences when they had the opportunity to visit and sightsee at Trang An Eco-tourism Complex.
As soon as he arrived in Ninh Binh, Sunil Jajoo, a tourist in the group, excitedly shared: My first impression was that the nature here is very fresh, the air is pleasant with green mountains and cool tree-lined roads. This is definitely a good start for an exciting journey of discovery.
Most of the Indian tourists this time were first-time visitors to Ninh Binh. Before that, they had the opportunity to visit many tourist attractions in Hanoi such as Hoa Lo Prison and the Temple of Literature.
Upon arriving in Ninh Binh, the group spent all their time visiting the sites at Trang An Eco-tourism Area such as May Cave, Dia Linh Cave, Suoi Tien Temple, Thanh Truot Cave, and Vu Lam Palace.
For many tourists, this is not just a regular tour but a journey to discover indigenous culture, unique and fascinating nature with majestic mountains, rivers, and rich flora and fauna.
Indian tourist Mammen James shared: The local people are very warm, enthusiastic and friendly. I have a special sympathy for the boatmen. They look small but row the boat very skillfully and skillfully. If we have the chance, we will spend more time here.
As the only restaurant chosen to serve meals for the Indian guests, Mr. Dinh Xuan Phuong, owner of Trang An 5 restaurant, said: The guests chose Indian-style vegan dishes, 90% of the ingredients and chefs were brought from India.
The restaurant has mobilized more than 30 people to coordinate with foreign chefs to ensure strict requirements on the quality and taste of the dishes. In addition, during the reception process, the restaurant always shows the spirit of hospitality, friendliness and especially respect for the culture of the host country so that international visitors have a good impression of Ninh Binh people.
The beautiful natural scenery, stories imbued with culture and history, and the friendliness and hospitality of the local people make the journey of the group of tourists interesting. These are also the "plus points" that make more and more Indian tourists return here.
According to a recent survey by Agoda, Vietnam is one of the most popular destinations for Indian tourists who want to return. The survey also highlighted the importance of hospitality, with 3 out of 10 Indian tourists saying that friendly locals are an important factor in attracting tourists to return.
According to the leader of Ninh Binh Department of Tourism, exploiting the Indian market is not easy because tourists have different cultural characteristics, beliefs, and living habits, requiring extremely strict services and standards.
In addition to specific food requirements to suit beliefs and religions, many Indian delegations also request private space to perform prayer rituals and ceremonies.
In addition, the required language is Hindu while Ninh Binh's tourist attractions mainly use English. The unique culinary space and the unpopular Indian cultural product business community in Ninh Binh are also factors that have not kept Indian tourists from staying long.
"This is a large international tourist group and the largest Indian tourist group ever to visit Ninh Binh. However, we do not focus on revenue but consider this a valuable opportunity for Ninh Binh to promote its image and tourism potential to the Indian market in particular and the world market in general regarding its ability to serve large-scale tourist groups in a professional and classy manner," said the leader of the Department of Tourism.
In the coming time, the Department will continue to promote and expand new tourism markets, including the South Asian market. At the same time, it will improve the quality of human resources, open training courses, and provide professional training and culinary skills according to the characteristics of each region and country.
The 4,500-person delegation of the Indian billionaire visited Ninh Binh from August 28 to September 3, 2024. The thoughtful and enthusiastic reception of each Ninh Binh resident will contribute to beautifying the image of the friendly, harmonious, civilized and hospitable people of the ancient capital. Thereby attracting more international tourists to Ninh Binh to stay in the near future.
