The event that formed part of the ongoing VITM Hanoi 2016 attracted the participation of over 2,000 people
The campaign is one of efforts by the Vietnam Tourism Association (VITA) to better Vietnamese travellers’ reputation in foreign countries, while eliminating their “uncivilised” behaviour when travelling.
VITA Vice President Vu The Binh said some outbound Vietnamese tourists have recently been committing uncivilised social behavior, which could adversely impact the tourism sector in particular, and the country’s image in general.
Statistics revealed that in 2015, more than 6 million Vietnamese went on holiday abroad. However, a lack of consultation and guidance allowed the tourists to bring such bad-mannered habits overseas as public nuisance, littering, food waste, inappropriate clothing, shoplifting and queue-jumping.
Such uncouth habits will harm Vietnam’s image in the eyes of international friends, especially when the country is involved in the global economic integration process, Binh said.
VITA has coordinated with the Vietnam Administration of Tourism to craft a document guiding required manners and etiquette for Vietnamese holidaymakers when travelling in and outside of the country.
The document will soon be submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for publication.
After the launching ceremony, thousands of people were present at Vietnam Exhibition Fair Centre in Giang Vo street in Hanoi to join the first practical activity in response the “Enhancing outbound Vietnamese travellers’ image” campaign.
