However, the country's tourism growth over the years has not gone beyond limits. This shows that we still do not have the most suitable promotional campaign.
The visa issue is an extremely important factor to improve domestic tourism. According to the Head of the TAB Secretariat, in addition to extending the visa period, Vietnam also needs to increase the number of visa-free countries. At the same time, expand the list of countries eligible for electronic visas.

Because up to now, Vietnam has only exempted visas for more than 20 countries and allowed the application of electronic visas for only more than 80 countries. Meanwhile, countries leading tourism such as Thailand - visa exemption for 67 countries, Singapore and Malaysia - visa exemption for 150 countries.
