Vietnam’s tourism industry has gradually recovered since fully opening to international visitors on March 15 last year. The number of foreign tourists reached nearly 1.9 million in the first two months of the year, equal to a quarter of the target set for last year.  Vietnam has won several world tourism titles, such as Asian travel destination for 4 consecutive years, top heritage destination, and top culinary destination, which have helped spread its image among international friends. China’s decision to add Vietnam to the list of countries, to which China’s group tours can be conducted, starting from March 15, is expected to be a major boost for the tourism industry.  The efforts of Vietnam’s tourism industry to reopen, together with the friendliness and hospitality of Vietnamese people, are advantages boosting its position in the eyes of international visitors./.
