Thien Mu Pagoda is a famous spiritual destination in Hue

At the seminar, the businesses said that spiritual tourism should be considered as a part of cultural tourism. To develop the spiritual tourism in Hue, it should be associated with other products, connecting the destinations together to form diverse tours. In addition, spiritual tourism in Hue should be combined with other localities in the country and in the region to form attractive and complementary spiritual routes.

According to the leaders of the Department of Tourism, Hue is among the few localities with favorable conditions to develop the spiritual tourism, which is an attractive type and brings high economic profit. In the coming time, the tourism will utilize all the information channels to promote the spiritual tourism to the domestic and international visitors; at the same time, the tourism will cooperate with the businesses to find suitable and attractive tours.
