The Code of Conduct bans the destruction or alteration of exhibits, relics, or museums. Ms Delforce Angela, an Australian visitor, says she was given the Code of Conduct at hotel reception. Ms Angela says the handbook is well designed, small, and easy to carry with her.
Nguyen Viet Anh, Head of the Travel Section of the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Department, says the Code of Conduct for tourists is in five languages: English, Russian, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Anh says that by publishing this book, the city hopes to add to visitors’ convenience and encourage them to respect local traditional values.
Mr. Anh says: “We plan to distribute 100,000 publications with beautiful designs this year. This Code of Conduct will initially apply just to foreign tourists. Later, we will develop a Code of Conduct for locals in their behavior with tourists.”
