STIMULUS TO REVIVE TOURISM
As international routes have not been reopened, domestic tourism has become a key market for all inbound, outbound and domestic travel companies. Localities have simultaneously responded to the national stimulus program to attract domestic tourists.
Mr. Ngo Hoai Chung, Deputy General Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), said, after being in lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Vietnam tourism has restarted. In order to restart tourism, the VNAT has cooperated with relevant agencies and businesses to organize various conferences to launch the domestic tourism stimulus program in response to the program initiated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. He said the program “Vietnamese people travel Vietnam, travel more, love the country more” introduced by the VNAT has strongly increased domestic tourists to 35 million in 2015 and 85 million in 2019. This confirms the very important role of the domestic tourism industry and the entire national economy. “Now, once again, domestic tourism has become a fulcrum for Vietnam tourism to recover,” he emphasized.
