Laos hosted the celebration of the 5th International Mountain Tourism Day under the theme of “Enjoy the Wonder of Mountains, Share a Beautiful Life and Jointly Promote Tourism Revitalisation” on Monday, 29 May 2023 in Vientiane.
The event was attended by hundreds of tourism-related business operators and reporters from Laos, China and other countries.
Deputy Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Mr. Ounthuang Khaophan said that, “I am confident that the beauty of the Lao lifestyle, as well as the country’s scenic splendor, including majestic mountain ranges, will attract more visitors from around the world.”
First held in 2019, International Mountain Tourism Day is a festival for mountain tourism enthusiasts and practitioners that contributes to environmental protection by organizing various activities.
