In 2018, Vietnam welcomed 714,112 Taiwanese visitors, a 15.9% increase from the previous year.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) will organize a roadshow to promote national tourism in Taiwan (China) and introduce Vietnamese cuisine at the Taiwanese Cuisine Festival, which is scheduled to take place from July 25 to 29, local media reported.
The event aims to deploy the 2019 national tourism promotion program and attract more visitors from Taiwan (China) to Vietnam. At the event, Vietnamese tourism potential, policies, destinations and tour packages will be presented to Taiwanese.
On this occasion, meetings between Vietnam's and the island’s travel agencies are expected to be held to intensify cooperation opportunities and increase the number of Taiwanese visitors to Vietnam and vice versa.
