As countries around the world are preparing to enter a race for tourism market
share, Vietnam needs to make good use of images of COVID-19 prevention and
control to promote itself as a "safe, friendly and health-assured" destination,
while improving service quality and implementing reasonable promotional
policies.
The ministry also issued Plan No.1749/KH-BVHTTDL to launch the programme
“Vietnamese people travel Vietnam” in a bid to stimulate domestic tourism.
Run from June 1 to December 31, the programme aims to popularise attractive
destinations and tourist products at reasonable prices, as well as introduce
demand stimulus packages.
It will be launched in several tourism localities to attract the involvement of
tourism associations, businesses, airlines and partners.
Localities were asked to offer ticket exemption or reduction at relic sites,
museums and tourist areas, thus ensuring a safe, friendly and quality tourism
environment.
Travel companies were recommended to develop new tourism products and improve
professionalism in catering guests while transport firms should offer ticket
reduction and work with travel agencies to build full-package tours.
