The Wellness Tourism Weekend 2024 took place from November 22 to 24 at Hue City Center for Culture, Information and Sports (23 - 25 Le Loi Street). This event aimed to promote the province's wellness tourism products and services, highlighting their practical, unique and quality values, as well as the competitiveness at domestic, regional and international levels. Simultaneously, it reinforced Thua Thien Hue's position as an attractive destination not only for its core cultural heritage tourism products, but also for a range of complementary tourism products such as wellness tourism, community tourism, eco-tourism, spiritual tourism, and village craft tourism, etc.
This year's Wellness Tourism Weekend features various exhibition and commercial activities, including: nutritious cuisine from renowned Hue restaurants; specialty products and clean food from organic agricultural enterprises; diverse spa services; beauty and dental care services; wellness products from reputable pharmaceutical companies in the province; and a program offering both traditional and modern health check-ups and consultations (free for visitors and local residents coming for a visit).
