QUANG NGAI (VNS) — Beautiful scenery, affordable prices and pristine beaches draw the holiday-seekers. Tran Ngoc Nguyen, chairman of the district's People's Committee, said the island expects to host a high number of tourists for the long holiday next week. Hospitality services including 18 hotels and guest houses and 20 homestays have been booked for the coming holidays on April 30 and May 1.

He said the district can provide accommodation to only 1,000 tourists at present, though more than 2,000 tourists showed interest in visiting the island.

"We have allocated VNĐ10 billion (US$476,000) to build public restrooms and upgrade 300 household restrooms to provide good service for tourists this year," Nguyen said. — VNS
