Tourism revenue hit nearly $2 billion in Q1
Vietnam received nearly 1.9 million foreigners and 9.6 million domestic visitors in the first quarter of this year, earning nearly $2 billion from tourism services.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) said as a result of promoting tourism products, developing trademarks, improving infrastructure at tourism sites and diversifying entertainment services, Vietnam’s tourism is becoming more and more attractive to visitors.
Since early this year, a lot of traditional festivals have been held across the country, with more hotels and motels providing better services for tourists.
One factor behind this success is that the MCST has closely monitored the organization of festivals at 58 relic sites in 17 provinces and cities.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) plans to build standard toilets at 50 per cent of tourism sites in 2012 and complete the project for the whole country by 2014.
