Tourism

Vietnam’s tourism industry witnessed declines in tourist arrivals from major markets such as China, South Korea and the US.

Many Vietnamese tour operators have switched to online operation in order to cope with the coronavirus outbreak.

Hanoi, however, remains firm on reaching the GRDP growth target of at least 7.5% in 2020.

The application of new technologies is expected to promote the products of more than 300 craft villages as well as receive feedback effectively.

Vietnam’s tourism industry will diversify products and find new markets after the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreaks roll back.

Fitch Rating keeps the positive rating outlook for Vietnamese banks.

Chinese arrivals to Hanoi in February declined 93.5% year-on-year while those from South Korea fell 51.4%.

In the long run, with Vietnam successfully controlling diseases, the tourism industry will greatly benefit as the country will be seen as a friendly and safe destination.

Tourist sites in Hanoi have been enhancing sanitation and providing free masks and hand sanitizer at entrances for visitors amid the Covid-19 epidemic.

The Easter holidays fall at the time of the event, making it a perfect opportunity for foreign tourists coming to experience the first ever F1 race in Hanoi and the beauty of Vietnam.
