Today, June 1, the "Vietnamese people travel Vietnam" program officially launched by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Mr. Nguyen Le Phuc, Deputy Director of Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, had a talk with the Lao Dong newspaper on the program.

Reporter: In the context of the country gradually returning to normal, this is considered a golden time to "break the ice" and promote domestic tourism. In your opinion, what will attract the most tourists at this time?

- Mr. NGUYEN LE PHUC: Before the "Vietnamese people traveling Vietnam" program was launched, a survey of post-Covid-19 domestic tourists was conducted. The results showed that more than 53% of the surveyed people were ready to travel this summer, 32.5% planned to go this year and the remaining 14% were not ready to travel. calendar. This also means that tourism demand is starting to recover, especially since the time of social gap easing and Vietnam proves successful in preventing the spread of disease community.

Visitors now prefer to select safe destinations with disease and good security. Up to 49.3% of respondents said that they chose short-term trips, usually from 2-3 days, preferring self-service travel with family or group of friends. The tourist space associated with nature is directed by many people. In particular, marine tourism accounted for 67%, followed by nature tourism with resorts, eco-mountains on the mountain accounted for 56%.

I believe that if you know the trend of domestic tourists, this is an opportunity for businesses to rise. The tourism industry will quickly recover in the coming time with changes to adapt to the new tourist trends of the people.

So how to ensure tourism is safe?

- In addition to the tourism stimulus programs, the measures to ensure safety against epidemics should be strictly and seriously implemented by localities, tour operators, tourism, hotels and airlines. . Ensuring security, health and safety for people at tourist establishments and destinations has become a "dual task" with the restoration of tourism industry in the coming time.

The program "Vietnamese people travel Vietnam" in addition to promotion, discount also aims to promote communication with the message "Vietnam is safe": Vietnam has curbed the outbreak of Covid-19 very successfully. and become a safe destination that surpasses anywhere in the world.
