===============================================
Foreign backpacking tourists who stay in the Backpacker’s Area in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 spend about VND12 million (US$583) per stay.
The figure is included in a report delivered by Dr. Nguyen Duc Tri, head the Tourism Department of the HCM City University of Economics, at a seminar titled “Planning the Pham Ngu Lao Tourism Area” held by the city Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism yesterday.
On average, a foreigner stays for a week in the backpacker’s area that comprises Pham Ngu Lao, Bui Vien and De Tham streets.
The area receives about 1,900 alien backpackers per day.
The quarter has long been attractive to foreigners as it offers them a range of diverse services at reasonable prices, including hotels, restaurants, bars, cafés, foreign exchange counters, vehicle renting, tourism agents and souvenir shops.
