Many local hotels are offering discounts of 10-12% to boost demand while Russian tour operators are promoting tours running between summer and the beginning of this autumn.
The press-secretary noted that Vietnam is a safe and peaceful country with good customer services. In addition to that, Russian visitors are allowed to enter Vietnam without a visa for 15 days, she said. The visa-free policy for Russian people is in accordance with the exemption agreement between the two countries.
About 130,000 Russian people holidayed in Vietnam last year. The country hopes to welcome at least 400,000 Russian visitors this year and about one million by 2020.
