Strategic Cooperation to Elevate Local Tourism

During the survey of Mekong Delta tourism destinations from November 26 to 30, 2025, Mekong Smile had accompanied key tourism authorities to welcome the international Famtrip delegation. This activity is part of a crucial strategy aiming to welcome 25 million international visitors in 2025 for Vietnam’s tourism industry.

Being entrusted with the responsibility of co-organizing and coordinating practical experiences in Can Tho has affirmed Mekong Smile’s position and credibility in the regional tourism industry. We act not only as a trusted host but also directly listen to valuable feedback from international partners to improve our service quality, and we are committed to creating the most favorable conditions for attracting international tourists to Can Tho in the future.

A Journey to the “Soul” of the Mekong River

Rooted in a philosophy of cultural respect and conservation, Mekong Smile curated this itinerary with nuanced emotional touchpoints to showcase the true ‘quintessence’ of the Mekong Delta Capital to our international friends.

The delegation was fully immersed in the vibrant early morning trade at Cai Rang Floating Market—a national intangible cultural heritage. Moving beyond mere sightseeing, our partners experienced the unique river merchant culture firsthand, enjoying rustic local cuisine directly on the boats.

The journey continued to Con Son Islet, the ‘green gem’ of the Hau River. Here, Mekong Smile bridged the gap between the Famtrip delegation and the local community. The authentic sights of community-based tourism—floating fish rafts, fruit orchards, and the sincere hospitality of the farmers—served as the most persuasive ‘ambassadors’ to the visiting agencies.

Expanding Global Connections

In Can Tho, the Famtrip delegation received a warm welcome from representatives of the City’s Department of Culture, Sports & Tourism and Tourism Associations. In a formal yet cozy atmosphere, a panoramic picture of Can Tho tourism was fully introduced with key products:

  • Eco-tourism & Orchard tours.
  • Community-based tourism (CBT) and Green agriculture.
  • Floating season specialties.
  • Cultural, Sports, Resort tourism, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions).

This diversity demonstrates that Can Tho and travel operators like Mekong Smile are fully capable of meeting the practical requirements of international markets, especially within Southeast Asia.

“Authentic” Values Conquering International Friends

What left the deepest mark on the 42 travel agencies from Malaysia and the Philippines was the heartfelt sincerity and authentic hospitality characteristic of the Mekong Delta. From the warm smiles of traders at the floating market to the enthusiastic welcome from Con Son residents, every moment created an undeniable allure.

Delegates were particularly moved by how Can Tho preserves its unique riverine culture amidst the flow of modernization. This authenticity is the golden key to unlocking future cooperation and bringing international tourists to the Mekong Delta.

Mekong Smile is honored to contribute to spreading these beautiful values. For us, each journey is more than just a service; it is an opportunity to tell the story of the culture, the people, and the generous spirit of the ‘Land of Nine Dragons’ to friends around the world.
