Vietnam
National Administration of Tourism is working with the country's embassies in
Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia to bring more regional tourists to Vietnam.
The
administration (VNAT) launched conferences in the countries Monday through
Saturday to showcase Vietnamese attractions, traditions and the investment
potentials of the country's tourism industry.
Stimulus
policies such as quick visa issuance or allowing right-side drivers are also
being discussed at the talks.
The program
is part of a plan to develop mutual tourism support between Southeast Asian
nations.
More than
100 officials from tour operators, agencies, carriers, commerce and press
agencies are expected to join the conferences.
Vietnam
received 3.8 million international tourists in 2009 and planned to receive 4.2
million this year.
