The tours will be taken via Mong Cai international border gate in Quang Ninh, some 120 km east of capital Hanoi. The provincial people's committee assigned the Hong Gai tourism and service company, to operate the scheme.
After one year, the committee will make report to the prime minister over the result of the scheme, according to an official online newspaper of Quang Ninh Province on Tuesday.
