In recent times, Vietnam’s tourism sector has seen significant changes and updates aimed at enhancing the experience for international travelers. Below is a summary of the latest news in this field.
Improvement in Immigration Procedures at Da Nang Airport
From March 20, the immigration system at Da Nang Airport has been fully automated, making it the first airport in Vietnam to implement a 100% automated process. This innovation helps minimize waiting times and enhances the experience for international visitors arriving in Vietnam.
Changes in Visa Regulations for Foreign Tourists
The Vietnamese government has introduced new regulations on issuing tourist visas for foreign visitors. Under these new rules, electronic visas (E-visas) are now available to citizens of all countries and territories, regardless of nationality. Travelers can apply for an E-visa through the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department, simplifying the procedure and saving time.
Development of Regional Tourism Linkages
The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism is promoting the “One Journey, Three Destinations” model connecting Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. If effectively implemented, this initiative promises to become a major tourism brand in Asia, attracting international visitors eager to explore the unique cultures and landscapes of these three Southeast Asian nations.
Vietnam’s Tourism Growth in the International Market
Vietnam continues to affirm its position as an attractive destination on the global tourism map. According to the latest reports, the number of international visitors to Vietnam in the first ten months of the year has reached nearly 10 million, with South Korea and China being the two largest source markets. This growth highlights Vietnam’s strong appeal to international travelers.
Feedback from International Visitors on Their Experience in Vietnam
Many international travelers have shared positive impressions of Vietnam, particularly regarding its culture and cuisine. However, some have also noted the need to improve issues like aggressive street vendors in popular tourist spots such as Ben Thanh Market, to create a more friendly and professional tourism environment.
The recent updates and changes in Vietnam’s tourism sector demonstrate the continuous efforts of the government and related agencies in improving service quality, ensuring safety, and facilitating smoother travel experiences for international visitors. This development promises to continue attracting more travelers eager to explore the unique beauty of Vietnam.
