Da Nang to reboot tourism from October 20
Da Nang (VNA) – The
central city of Da Nang plans to reboot local tourism from October 20, as the
COVID-19 pandemic has been under control.
From November, the city will embark
on “travel bubble” with the central province of Quang Nam and the northern
province of Quang Ninh, heard a meeting between the municipal People’s Council and local voters last week.
Director of the municipal Tourism
Department Truong Thi Hong Hanh said the city will initially welcome domestic
visitors and pilot the serving of foreigners with the slogan “Enjoy Da Nang”,
ensuring safety of tourists and employees in the sector.
Also in
November, the city will serve international visitors who come for official
duty, visit relatives and return home. They will be put under quarantine for a
week and follow other regulations by the Health Ministry. Others include tourists
on full-package tours and those with vaccine passports, focusing on those from
the Republic of Korea and Russia.
Russia plans
to bring 2,000 – 4,000 visitors to Vietnam each month, Hanh said.
Chairman of
the municipal People’s Committee Le Trung Chinh said between now and early
2022, the city will continue facing difficulties caused by the pandemic. In
order to restore its economy, the city will suggest the State allocate more
vaccines for the second jabs and those aged 12-17.
In the immediate
future, Da Nang will build economic recovery scenarios for the last three
months and 2022, resume several services and pilot domestic and foreign tourism
activities in line with the most suitable roadmap, he said./.
