VietNamNet - A training course on the marketing and advertising of tourist destinations have been organised on Phu Quoc Island, off the coast of southern Kien Giang province, for officials from 39 tourism departments nationwide.

The course, jointly conducted by the Viet Nam Administration of Tourism (VAT) and the European Commission (EC), is part of a 1.4 million USD project to develop human resources for the Vietnamese tourism sector, funded by the European Union (EU).

Josef Van Doom, Co-director of the project, said it aims to build and develop 13 skills for local tourism managers and workers.

Phu Quoc Island was selected as a model for the marketing and advertising of the tourism sector's images to both foreign and local tourists. The 561 sq.km island is home to 85,000 residents, boasting 150 km of coastline and a good geographical location to ease international access by sea and air
