After enjoying a tour around the capital city of Hanoi, the first group of 4,500 Indian employees from a pharmaceutical firm owned by Indian billionaire Dilip Shangvi visited the UNESCO-recognized Trang An Landscape Complex in the northern province of Ninh Binh on August 28.

The Indian tourists took a boat tour of unique caves and historical relics located within the stunning limestone karst mountain ranges as they try to gain greater insights into the history of Ninh Binh and its people.

Pham Duy Phong, deputy director of Ninh Binh province’s Department of Tourism, emphasised that the local authorities made thorough preparations for receiving the Indian delegation, adding that the visit by a large number of international arrivals has affirmed Ninh Binh's position as both an attractive and prestigious destination on the global tourism map.

The event also offers a "golden" opportunity for the locality to elevate its image and introduce beautiful landscapes, as well as the local unique culture, thereby attracting more international tourists and investors, especially those from the Indian market.

The Indian delegation will be divided into seven groups that are expected to visit Ninh Binh from August 28 to September 5.
