The province Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has drafted a three-phase vaccine passport program for tourists coming from Europe, the US, Northeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, which have successfully controlled Covid-19 and have high vaccination rates.

In the first phase of the program between February and May, 2,000-3,000 foreign visitors will be allowed into Quang Nam every month and to visit Hoi An town, the My Son Sanctuary, UNESCO heritage sites, Cham Island, Phù Ninh Lake, and amusement facilities in five-star resorts.

The tourists will stay in sequestered resorts and be allowed to play golf and visit casinos and beaches. Visitors need to furnish a certificate showing they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to arrival or recovered from Covid. Visitors under 18 with a negative Covid certificate will also be allowed entry.

They are required to book a package tour with a designated travel agency and have medical and travel insurance./.
