Propose visa exemption for Package tour of foreigners
Foreign tourists who travel to Vietnam
by package tours of international tour operators may be exempted visa.
This is the announcement of the General Director of the
General Department of Tourism, Mr Nguyen Van Tuan, in the conference which reviewed
activities of the first three months.
In around the world, Visa exemption has been considered as
an advantage in order to appealing foreign visitors. There are a number of
countries in South East Asia applying this form such as Malaysia, Singapore or
Thailand, especially Indonesia with Visa exemption policy for 79 countries simultaneously
(Now they has applied Visa exemption policy for 169 countries).
According to Mr. Tuan, this is an objective trend and Vietnam should not be the exception. General Department
of Tourism will persistently propose policy of prolonged Visa exemption for the
citizens of five West Europe countries which
are going to be expired from July 1st 2016.
Furthermore, this organ also proposed the unilateral visa
exemption plan for thirteen countries if their visitors selected the Package
Tour of International Tour companies of Vietnam .
If the proposal is approved, some experts said, it can help not only rise the
rate of tourist to travel destinations but also bind responsibilities for tour
operators.
In advance, Vietnam
exempted Visa for five countries as Germany ,
France , Italia, the United Kingdom and Spain
until June 30th 2016, it also means that citizens of these countries
exempt visa if they stay in Vietnam
within fifteen days. In practice, this policy has taken effect when the rate of
tourists from these countries increased steadily each month.
