HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): As the Vietnamese government is rolling out a pilot programme wherein international tourists with vaccine passports or those who have made a full recovery from Covid-19 can visit five destinations in Vietnam starting from November 2021, without a quarantine mandate, we are able to observe the first positive signs of tourism recovery in Vietnam.

The destinations – Kiên Giang, Khánh Hòa, Quảng Nam, Danang and Quảng Ninh – are most famous for their beach tourism and heritage sites. They are also extremely popular with certain markets, namely Russia and the US, which will no doubt generate good publicity for Vietnam.
