Travel bubble not the solution for Vietnam: report

HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): While Taiwan and the Pacific island nation of Palau implemented a travel bubble on April 1, letting tourists travel between the two countries without any quarantine, experts think doing the same thing in Viet Nam wouldn't be easy.

A McKinsey & Company research report titled 'Reimagining tourism: How Vietnam can accelerate travel recovery' released in late March said: “Betting on travel bubbles cannot in itself be a strategy in the short term, as international arrivals are expected to remain low in 2021, and foreign demand will not return to 2019 levels before 2025.”
