In hopes of attracting more international visitors traveling to Sapa, the Lao Cai provincial People’s Committee has recently set up a tourism e-portal translated into the other foreign languages such as Vietnamese, English and Chinese. The Chairman of Sapa District People’s Committee not only said that preparation for the Sapa tourism week has been completed and many hotels and guesthouses in Sapa have been fully booked in advance, but also emphasized the need to ensure food hygiene and safety and increase the quality of tourism services to satisfy the increasing demand of local and foreign tourists when the peak season comes. In 2013, Lao Cai welcomed more than one million visitors, over 20% higher than the yearly set target; whereas this year it is expected to receive 1.2 million arrivals as the Noi Bai - Lao Cai Highway is opening to traffic in June 2014.
