On March 12th, a press conference about Cua Lo Tourism Festival 2014 was organized in Hanoi with the participants of representatives of tourism companies, government agencies, and media businesses. Also in this conference, authorities of Cua Lo Town declared the master plan to develop Cua Lo Tourism Festival into a typical festival representing sea tourism of Cua Lo in particular and of Nghe An Province in general.
In the framework of Cua Lo Tourism Festival, a large number of programs and activities have taken place successfully such as: rituals at Van Loc Temple, traditional boat race competition, folk games, culture-exchange programs between Vietnamese Televisions and Lao National Television, and firework programs.

Cua Lo is expected to welcome 2.25 million tourists, of which 550 thousand tourists are foreigners in 2014. The revenue from tourism activities is estimated to reach 1.750 billion VND.
After 20 years of construction and development, Cua Lo is known as an attractive bustling coastal city with modern tourism services, unpolluted environment and hospitable local people.
