Hanoi – Vietnam earned some 394.2 trillion VND (16.05 billion USD)
from tourism in the first nine months of this year, equivalent to 78% of the figure recorded in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.

The Vietnam
National Administration of Tourism said the country welcomed over 1.8 million
foreign tourists in the nine-month period, of which 1.2 million were recorded in
the third quarter of this year, 2.5 times the figure in the
previous quarter.

The
Republic of Korea (RoK), the US and Asian countries like Cambodia, Japan,
Singapore and Thailand are the biggest sources of tourists for Vietnam, the
agency noted.

As of
mid-September, international search volumes for aviation and lodging services in the Southeast Asian nation rose three times and 10 times, respectively, as
compared with early March when the country had yet reopened its doors.

Domestic
holidaymakers reached about 86.8 million in the nine months, surpassing the 85
million in 2019.

More and
more Vietnamese are travelling abroad, with their search volume increasing four
times from early March, targeting such countries as Thailand, Cambodia,
Australia, the US, Indonesia, France and Malaysia.

Vietnam
fully reopened borders to tourists from March 15. The country aims to welcome 5
million foreign arrivals this year./.

Lam Dong – A tourism golden week
will be held in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, home to famous
resort city Da Lat, from April 27 to May 3.

The provincial People’s Committee said on March 22
that it approved in principle the organisation plan by the Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The event, the second of its kind, will take place
in all the 12 cities and districts in the province, featuring special programmes,
according to the department.

The theme of “Tourism of experience, culture and
cuisines” is picked up for Da Lat and Lac Duong, Lam Ha, Duc Trong and Don
Duong districts, with 14 programmes, including an opening ceremony, an
international music festival, exhibitions and art performances.

Community tourism will be promoted in Bao Loc city
and Bao Lam, Di Linh and Dam Rong districts during the week through a folk
dance festival, hot mineral bath services and a cycling tournament.

Other districts – Da Hoai, Da Ter and Cat Tien –
will host a paragliding tournament, folk games, cycling tournaments and other
sport activities.

Situated on a plateau around 1,500 metres above sea
level, Da Lat enjoys year-round cool weather that is in contrast to Vietnam’s
tropical climate.

As one of Vietnam’s biggest flower-growing regions,
producing around 3 billion flower cuts every year, the city is a must-visit
destination for flower lovers around the world.

Last year, the city welcomed about 7 million
visitors, including about 140,000 foreign visitors./.

Promoting tourism linkages in the Red River Delta region

As the historical-cultural cradle of Vietnam, the Red River Delta boasts a range of important scenic spots and growing potential, requiring greater inter-regional cooperation to reach sustainable development goals.

As one of four key tourist regions in the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh province has been exerting efforts to participate in and promote links with other localities to develop specific tourism products.

The region is home to over 23,000 historical and cultural relics, including 49 special national relics, 3 world cultural heritages, and hundreds of traditional festivals. This is a prerequisite for building attractive products and prolonging stays and tourist spending.

Each city and province is to pay attention to identifying core values and other value systems the region possesses or has created for development. It is also necessary to adopt solutions to fully exploit inter-regional tours.

The successful establishment of regional links between Red River Delta provinces will help effectively exploit the strengths of each locality. At the same time, it will improve the competitive advantage of the entire region and introduce attractive tourism products./.
