National tourism plan seeks to draw more visitors

Viet Nam aims to attract about 7 million foreign tourists in the next two years.

HA NOI (VNS)– The recently approved National Action Plan on Tourism aims to attract about seven million foreign tourists and about 37 million domestic tourists in 2015.

This will draw revenue of 10-11 billion dollars for the tourism industry.

The plan aims to develop core areas such as sea and island tourism, cultural tourism and eco-tourism. It also strives to build a strong brand for the tourism sector. According to the plan, localities and enterprises will receive support to develop their own brands and a number of communications campaigns will promote tourism in Viet Nam.

The plan also seeks to reduce the environmental impact of tourism activities and improve available human resources. -VNS
