HCM City to offer free-of-charge foreign language courses to tour guides
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism planned to offer language courses in Korean, Japanese, and Spanish – all free of charge – to tour guides.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Korean tourists arrived in Vietnam including Ho Chi Minh City. It is forecast that more Korean and Japanese visitors will flock to the southern largest city in the coming time.
However, Vietnamese tour guides who can speak Korean, Japanese, and Spanish have not yet met the growing demand. Therefore, the department’s plan to offer free foreign language training courses aims to increase the number of tour guides./.
