More tourists from China visited Laos last year as the country saw its number of visitors exceed four million for the first time.
The total number of foreign tourists visiting Laos in 2014 was 4.15 million, a 10% increase from the 3.75 million in 2013, the Vientiane Times reported on Thursday, citing figures from the Lao Information, Culture and Tourism Ministry.
Laos planned to launch a campaign for tourists to extend their stays and entice high-end tourists to visit the country, said Saly Phimphinith, the Tourism Marketing Department chief.
