Restorating of intra-provincial tourism
The Vietnam Tourism Association has just sent an official dispatch to localities on the implementation of the program to restore domestic tourism. Accordingly, tourism businesses only select tourist destinations and service providers for groups of tourists who satisfy safety criteria; and build tourist routes and transport methods according to safe routes. Nguyen Thi Le Thanh - Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Tourism said that initially, Khanh Hoa tourism will restore tourism within the province with the program “Khanh Hoa people travel in Khanh Hoa”. The provincial Department of Tourism has proposed to the provincial People's Committee to organize a tour of gratitude to the frontline forces in fighting the Covid-19 epidemic to open the program.
Major tourism enterprises in the province such as Vinpearl Joint Stock Company, Hon Tam Nha Trang Sea Joint Stock Company, Long Phu Tourist Joint Stock Company, resorts in Bai Dai (Cam Lam), Doc Let (Ninh Hoa)… are actively preparing to resume operations. Travel businesses are also coordinating with tourist sites/spots to build “green” tours. Tran Minh Duc - Chairman of Khanh Hoa Travel Association, Deputy Director of Long Phu Tourist Joint Stock Company said that travel businesses are very pleased with the news that the province will soon allow tourism to resume operations. As long as the Provincial People's Committee issues a set of safety criteria, businesses will "activate" tourism activities in the province again.
