Mr. Nguyen Manh Tuan, Vietnamese ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, shared his thoughts toward the reopening of tourism in Vietnam: “After 2 years of being severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourism sector is showing signs of revival as activities resume in major tourism centres nationwide. This is a year of great significance to Vietnam to thrive and reach the target of welcoming 65 million visitor arrivals, including 5 million international visitor arrivals.”
Quang Nam Province was chosen to host the Visit Vietnam Year 2022 and put the attention to preparing this event. In addition, Quang Nam Province is now closely coordinating with the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MOCST) as well as provinces and cities across the country to organise several of activities in response to the Visit Vietnam Year 2022, in order to contribute attracting domestic and international tourists to Quang Nam in particular and to Vietnam in general.
