Almost 389,000 foreign visitors arrived in Vietnam in November--0.2 percent more than October, and a year-on-year increase of 38.6 percent -which is seen as a positive sign for the tourism sector in 2010, experts said.
They went on to say that the increase heralds the recovery of the world economy, bringing with it stronger demand for tourism. The turn-around was also attributed to efforts by the tourism sector in carrying out numerous measures to attract foreign tourists.
