It allows tourists to have more travel options for visiting Laos and China,” said Mr. Ounthouang Khaophan.
The Vice Minister expressed thanks to the International Mountain Tourism Alliance for choosing Laos as the host of the event, noting that this will help promote tourism industry in Laos as the country is preparing for launching Visit Laos Year 2024 and its resumption of ASEAN chairmanship in 2024.
