Organizing familiarization trips (Famtrips) to survey and evaluate destinations is an annual activity of the Son La Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. This initiative aims to strengthen connections between national tourism businesses and travel agencies with local tourism service providers. Through these trips, Son La can showcase its tourism products, especially attractive and potential destinations, attracting tourists and encouraging travel agencies to assess and develop new tours, routes, and tourism products. Moreover, through these surveys, professional tourism practitioners can share valuable experiences, helping Son La's tourism services become increasingly sophisticated and meet the diverse needs and preferences of tourists.
The delegation visited the tourist destination The Nordic Village, Van Ho district.
Mr. Phung Xuan Khanh, Director of Tien Phong Tourism Services Company Limited and Head of the Promotion Board of the Hanoi UNESCO Travel Club, stated: At the invitation of Son La Province to survey destinations in Moc Chau National Tourist Area, the Hanoi UNESCO Travel Club has organized a survey trip with members who are tourism businesses with extensive experience in developing and organizing tours. Through this trip, travel agencies can have practical experiences and make objective assessments, thereby providing suggestions for local tourism businesses and collaborating to develop new tours in the future.

Ms. Nguyen Thanh Hoa, Deputy Director of Dynamic Travel, said: Recently, Dynamic Travel has organized tours to bring tourists to experience Moc Chau, especially during the flower seasons and summer. However, the activities are not diverse. After this survey, we will have more new ideas to build tours with more diverse activities, connecting with attractive destinations of Moc Chau National Tourist Area or linking with local cultural and tourism events to increase the experience and create attractiveness for tourists on each trip.

Ms. Hoang Xuan Dung, from Aseanland Travel, shared: Moc Chau National Tourist Area has many attractive destinations, especially the pristine natural beauty, fresh climate, and many local products that match the Company's criteria for choosing a destination. Through the survey, we want to learn about new tourism products here to develop suitable tours for foreign tourists.

Through the survey, travel companies have an overview of the potential for tourism development, the quality of tourism services, especially food, entertainment, experience, shopping, etc. From there, there is a specific direction in coordinating with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Son La province, localities, and linking with tourism businesses to build suitable tours, helping to effectively exploit the potential and available advantages of Moc Chau National Tourist Area.
Organizing Famtrip groups to survey and evaluate tourist destinations is one of the practical activities organized by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province to promote, advertise and link tourism development in Moc Chau National Tourist Area in particular, and Son La province tourism in general. Not only sharing valuable experiences in developing tours and tourist routes, travel agencies will be an effective connecting force to promote tourism development in a green, fast and sustainable direction.
