This is part of the latest regulations issued by the administration in an effort to ensure safety for local tourists. The agency also ordered restriction of tours to foreign countries that show signs of insecurity.
It requested that the local departments of culture, sports and tourism strictly abide by regulations on outbound tours and insurances for tourists, and take every necessary measure to ensure tourists’ safety, property and interests.
Outbound tours have been steadily on the rise in Vietnam, which has a good side of satisfying the growing demand of local tourists. Yet, there remain some cases where travel agents failed to protect the health, safety and rights of Vietnamese tourists as a result of non-adherence to state regulations.
