Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar will jointly produce a documentary titled,
“Four countries — one destination” with the aim of promoting the countries’
tourism industry and strengthening their cooperation in the field.


The film is part of the national
action programme in tourism and the national tourism promotion programme in 2010
initiated by Vietnam.


Covering a tour of four nations, the
documentary will become a significant drawing-card for foreign tourists, said
Nguyen Phuc Thanh, Head of the Organisation and Personnel Department under the
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism at a seminar held in Hanoi on January
19.


With an array of short documentary
films, the programme will use 3D and 2D vision to feature the history, culture
and daily life of the four countries, with Vietnam at the centre.


It focuses on new, mysterious and
attractive destinations — from the Temple of Literature, Thang Long royal
citadel, handicraft villages in Hanoi, Vietnam, the Mekong River, Luang Prabang
ancient capital city and Thap Luang of Laos to Angkor Wat temple, ancient
capital city of Angkor Thom and Sea Lake of Cambodia and Shwe Dagon pagoda,
Mandalay ancient capital city and Bagas city of Myanmar.


At the seminar, representatives from
Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia expressed their support for the Vietnam’s initiative
idea and took the occasion to introduce their special cultural and historical
destinations.
