Tourism in Mekong Delta needs revamping
Vietnam is now the second largest rice exporter in the world and the Mekong Delta is the center of rice production in the country.

Yet despite its prominence as a big rice exporter owning diversified ecology, the Mekong Delta failed to attract as many tourists as it should be.

It was revealed that there is much potential for economic b in the area but, unfortunately, local tour opera-tors are failing to entice visitors with less than exciting itineraries and ill-equipped guides.

Tourist Joseph Boneigh from Israel recently traveled with a guide to Vietnam's Mekong Delta for what he calls “ecology tourism.” However, what he saw was not as he had imagined it would be.
