Foreign visitors to Vietnam increased in November
According to Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), foreign visitors arrivals in Vietnam in November reached nearly 400,000- a sharply increase in the comparision with the number in October.
Most of the visitors came from China, the Republic of Korea, the US and Taiwan, said a VNAT representative at a workshop in Hanoi on November 27.
This suggests a recovery in the tourism sector in the two remaining months of the year, as foreign arrivals fell dramatically in October due to the global economic recession, he said.
At the workshop, delegates gave opinions on a strategy for national tourism development until 2020 with a view toward 2030. The strategy aims for breakthroughs in tourism development, enabling the sector to compete on a par with other countries in the region and the world.
It expects to serve 7-8 million foreign visitors and 32-35 million domestic holiday-makers in 2015. For 2030, the targets are 11-12 million foreign visitors and 45-48 million domestic tourists.
