Hanoi has welcomed the first international flight from Tokyo, Japan, with 143 passengers on board of 2022, according to the municipal Department of Tourism.

Experts said that in order to stimulate demand for tourism there needs to be not only an affordable range of products and services in the sector but that these products and services also need to be of the highest quality, particularly when set against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking advantage of the peak tourist season during the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, travel companies have been launching local tours at reasonable prices to encourage people to see Vietnam. Most tours are designed for families or small groups, due to concerns over the transmission of COVID-19.

Developing human resources in tourism is key to help boost this industry sustainability, according to experts.
