Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung has agreed with the proposal from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) to grant free visas to foreign tourists between October and December.
The policy will be applied to foreign visitors who book package tours under a tourist promotions package called “Vietnam – Your destinationâ€, the ministry announced on September 30.
The MCST will work with the Ministry of Public Security and the Foreign Ministry to ensure the policy is transparent.
The temporary exemptions should lure more foreign tourists to the country, ensuring the stable development of the tourism sector during the 1,000th anniversary celebrations of the capital city of Hanoi. – VOV
