Various policies, including Government Resolution 82, have fostered recovery and sustainable growth. Additionally, the National Assembly approved the Government’s proposals to increase the validity of e-visas for foreigners to 90 days, creating favorable conditions to attract international tourists to Vietnam and enhancing Vietnam’s tourism competitiveness in the region.
Efforts from tourism promotion agencies and agile enterprises have been pivotal in attracting visitors. Collaborative initiatives like promotional programs in key markets and developing unique tourism products have contributed to these accomplishments.
