At an event to introduce Greek tourism products, the Hanoi Tourism Association expressed its desire to promote multilateral cooperation, bringing more international visitors to Vietnam and expanding outbound tourism for Vietnamese travelers. Association Chairman Nguyen Manh Than said: “When establishing a Vietnam–Greece tour, we are concerned about issues such as procedures and transportation. We propose that the Greek Embassy facilitate visa issuance for Vietnamese citizens, and that Greek airlines offer preferential airfares for Vietnamese tour groups. We also hope that Greece will promote Vietnam’s tourism products and encourage more Greek tourists to visit our country.”
