Committee IV and the Tourism Advisory Board advised the Government to push localities to give regular and accurate updates on pandemic control measures, especially those related to traveling and accommodation, and create a hotline to support the work.
They proposed that the Government focus on speeding up digital transformation in tourism to ensure connections among State agencies, businesses and localities during the recovery process and assist the tourism digital marketing.
They also suggested the strengthening of the public-private dialogue to build tourism recovery plans and scenarios.
In 2022, the sector aims to serve 65 million visitors, equivalent to 150 percent of the number in 2021, with a total revenue of 400 trillion VND (17.6 million USD).
A recent survey showed that nearly 90 percent of people asked said that they want to travel right in the next 10 months, including 53.7 percent planning to take a trip in between December 2021 to first months of 2022. Meanwhile, 56 percent of people placed priority to pandemic safety.
The survey also revealed that the demand for using technology to search for tourism information and travel service booking is high, with 75 percent of people surveyed showing hope that digital platforms in tourism will focus on providing safe tourism information.
