Under the EU-funded capacity development programme for environmentally and socially responsible tourism in Vietnam (EU-ESRT), a website will be built to help promote tourism in the central coastal region, where owns beautiful beaches and numerous destinations recognised by the UNESCO as world cultural heritages.

The EU-funded project will be mainly focused on provinces of Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Nam and Danang city.
The website aims to boost the central coastal region's tourism services and products, and support visitors in seeking tourist information. It is expected to help increase sources of income for the localities.
The site, which is scheduled to be put into operation in this July, will cover information on attractive destinations, popular tourism activities, must-eat dishes and trips worth exploring.
In addition, the website will also provide information related to visa regulations for international tourists, weather, tourist transport support centres and accommodation establishments.
