The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MoCST) and the People’s Committee of Quang Ninh province held a ceremony to officially announce Vietnam’s tourism reopening.
Deputy Minister Hoang Dao Cuong said to make the reopening effective, enterprises should coordinate to renew their products and offer new ones to satisfy client demand, which is changing after the pandemic.
He suggested businesses focus on such products as luxury leisure tourism, eco-tourism, and community-based tourism to welcome over five million international visitors this year and create momentum for the coming years.
Apart from restoring international flights and frequency, carriers need to open more air routes to major markets, he said, asking travel firms and airlines to step up coordination on quality tour packages and provide updates on immigration regulations and pandemic prevention and control measures.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tuong Van expressed his hope that the MOCST, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and airlines will soon implement tourism promotion programmes in key markets.
Quang Ninh and other localities are ready to join such programmes, contributing to promoting Vietnam to international friends, he said.
At the end of the first quarter, the locality has welcomed around two million tourists.
Other tourist localities like Da Nang and HCM City also affirmed their efforts to boost domestic tourism. The Quang Ninh Province People’s Committee, Vietnam Airlines and Sun Group also signed a cooperation agreement on stimulating tourism. — Vietnam News/ANN
