The city-based Saigontourist Travel Service Co. has launched a
special tour that not only takes local people to Japanese attractions but also
allow them to lend a helping hand to the people of Sendai city, Miyagi province
in the aftermath of the natural disasters that hit the country in March.
Doan Thi Thanh Tra, marketing manager of the company, said travelers would start
in HCMC, visit attractions in Tokyo and then have one day to participate in
voluntary activities in Sendai. The tourists will take part in activities with
members of a Japanese volunteer organization.
“Travelers will help local people to clean houses, give elderly people a bath,
cooking and other tasks,” she said.
According to Tra, the tour operator had the idea of a special volunteer tour
after a survey trip to Japan last week.
“We’ve seen volunteers from some countries go to Japan for the activity. It’s
great for the Japanese people’s morale,” she said.
The four-day tour costs VND35 million per person. Saigontourist expects to start
the tour on July 7 and 14. For further information, contact the company on 0913
725524 or email: info@saigontourist.net
The company, who temporarily suspended tours to Japan, restarted them this
month.
“We will have three groups of tourists going to Japan on discounted tours this
month,” Tra said.
Other travel companies in HCMC such as Samurai Tour, TST Tourists and Vietravel
are also promoting tours to Japan with big discounts.
