The Vietnam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT)'s information centre officially launched a promotional video for railway tourism on July 9 in conjunction with the 64th founding anniversary of the sector in Vietnam (1960-2024).

Travelling by train is currently a new trend, as rising prices of domestic air tickets are leading to an increase of 10-15% in tour prices. The railway industry, therefore, is striving to innovate and coordinate with tourism businesses to improve quality and associate tourism with “awakening” heritage.

The Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) is working with partners to launch a luxury train across the country with five-star entertainment and cuisine services to bolster railway tourism, VNR General Director Dang Sy Manh told VietnamPlus.
