Kuala Lumpur (VNA) – A road show to promote tourism in Vietnam took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on December 16.
It is part of a tourism promotion campaign to introduce Vietnam’s new tourism services and visa exemption policy, Ngo Hoai Chung, vice director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, said in his opening remarks.
He said once the ASEAN Community is formed on December 31, Vietnam’s tourism sector will see both opportunities and challenges that will require the country to improve the quality of its workforce, vocational training and corporate governance.
