A core feature of the new website, which is open to hotels and restaurants, is that it will increase their global reach and enable them to be searchable and contactable by the overseas market.
Another key feature is that it provides an emergency and information telephone hotline for travelers to call if needed for incidents related safety or travel security. 
It is also accessible in both Vietnamese and English.
