HCM City targets domestic market for tourism recovery
The Ho Chi Minh City tourism sector this year plans to focus on digitalisation of the industry and promotion of domestic tourism amid a downturn in tourism because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The department is stepping up digitalisation in tourism to propel the travel experience, said the city's Tourism Department.
The sector will continue its efforts to boost domestic tourism as the main factor driving the recovery of the tourism industry.
The tourism communication and stimulus campaign, ‘Hello Ho Chi Minh City,’ has been implemented to promote the city as a safe, vibrant and friendly destination.
Tourism cooperation and linkages between HCM City and the Northeast, Northwest and the Central regions will also serve to boost domestic travel.
The city aims to receive 33.5 million domestic visitors this year if COVID-19 remains under control in the country./.
