HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): After a bad year for business in 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic shut down travel around the world, Vietnam's tourism revenue fell even further this year. Plans were discussed by experts at a forum to access the current state of the hospitality market and map out a way towards a post-Covid-19 recovery.
Speaking at the "Vietnam Tourism and Hospitality – Managing in Uncertain Times and the Way Forward”, Vice-Chairman of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, Hà Văn Siêu, said the tourism industry experienced a decline of 16 per cent in domestic visitors and 41 per cent in tourism revenue in the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same period last year.
