In the long term, the city will call for investment in new hotels near the market.
It is important to upgrade the floating market since 70 to 80 percent of domestic and international tourists to Can Tho visit it, Luan said.
In addition to tourism activities, the city hosts many extracurricular activities at the market for students from other provinces./.
