Accordingly, the Department of Tourism determined that the domestic tourist market is still the biggest target in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2021. In addition, Khanh Hoa tourism also pays attention to the international tourist market with foreigners in Vietnam; especially the Christmas and New Year holidays. The Department of Tourism also hopes to see the international tourist market to recover soon in 2021.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, Khanh Hoa Provine is expected to welcome 350,000 visitors, including 10,000 international ones. The tourism is also expected to restore 100% of the basic tourism service system (accommodation, restaurants, travel, entertainment and urban utility services) to prepare for a recovery in tourism in 2021.
