Secretariat of the Tourism Advisory Board Hoang Nhan Chinh said China, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and ASEAN countries are sources of tourists close to Vietnam, and their people come to visit all year round.
He also recommended that Vietnam could start welcoming back tourists from certain faraway markets like Australia, Russia, and Europe from around October.
The Tourism Advisory Board said the reopening of borders to foreign tourists should depend on the COVID-19 inoculation programs of Vietnam and other nations. The Board has sent a letter submitting related proposals to the Prime Minister.
