No visa fee for int’l tourists to VN in Q4

The Government just decided to exempt entry visa charges for foreign tourists who enter Viet Nam between October and the year end under the country’s tourism promotion program 2010 named "Viet Nam – Your Destination.”
The program consists of seven campaigns, including the “Impressive grand sale 2010” in Ha Noi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City; “Friendly Viet Nam welcomes you”; and the “Back to the origin” for overseas Vietnamese in Australia, France, the UK and the US.
The above campaigns have helped to rev up the number of foreign arrivals to the country by 34.2% in 9 months against the same period last year, or some 3.73 million arrivals.
Besides, Vietnamese tourist firms have also launched a series of impressive promotion campaigns on the occasion of the 1000th birthday anniversary of Thang Long-Ha Noi.
