(VOV) - The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) marked its 55th founding anniversary on July 7 and launched a campaign encouraging Vietnamese people to travel domestically.
The campaign aims to raise public awareness on the tourism sector’s role and position in the national socio-economic development, and industrialisation and modernisation process.
After the launch ceremony, more than 200 students of the Saigon College of Arts, Culture and Tourism cycled through HCM City main streets, calling on the public to join hands to protect the environment and tourism resources.
Tran Nguyen Hop Chung, a representative from Viettravel, said such activity will help the Vietnamese people gain a better understanding about the Vietnam tourism sector, tourist destinations and tourism development orientations. They will be encouraged to visit more domestic tourism sites and value Vietnam’s tourism products.
