VIỆT NAM’S DESTINATIONS, E-VISA POLICY PROMOTED IN HONG KONG
A workshop promoting Việt Nam’s tourist destinations and e-visa policy took place in Hong Kong (China) on March 14.
Co-organised by the Vietnam Airlines branch in the region and the Society of IATA Passenger Agents Ltd (SIPA), the event gathered representatives of the Vietnamese Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau and CEOs and senior managers of many local travel companies.

The workshop introduced the latest top Vietnamese destinations as voted by TripAdvisor like Ha Long Bay, the Sapa resort town and the ancient citadel of Hue.
In particular, Consul Nguyễn Minh Tuấn from the Consulate General informed the participants about the advantages and convenience of the e-visas, such as simple procedures that save time.
SIPA Chairman Tommy Tam told the Vietnam News Agency that Hong Kong residents are fond of traveling to Việt nam. He expressed his hope to see Vietnamese tourism businesses bringing their products to the upcoming International Travel Expo (ITE) Hong Kong scheduled for June.
