At the meeting (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam on August 17 asked the Ministry of Culture , Sports and Tourism (MCST) to review the operation of household businesses in the tourism sector affected by the COVID-19 . The ministry should coordinate with core travel firms to form key routes connecting localities, the official said at a meeting of the State Steering Committee for Tourism in Hanoi which assessed the implementation of tourism recovery solutions. He ordered restarting heritage digitalisation with the participation of travel enterprises to promote new tourism products.

Peter Zimmermann from Germany said he and his wife have been coming to Vietnam for 5-6 months every winter since 2013 and they always rented a house or a large apartment in the beach town of Nha Trang.

For this you have to submit bank statements to prove that you have sufficient funds. If that's what's required, we'll do it. No problem. So it is entirely up to the Vietnamese government whether our money ends up in Vietnam or goes to other countries. We cannot understand why the government is having such a hard time … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s short-term visa is driving tourists away
