Minister of Culture, Sports and tourism, Nguyen Van Hung, spoke about measures to boost tourism industry recovery after the pandemic. “The industry has suffered serious loss due to the pandemic though we have seen positive development especially in domestic tours. It’s still a challenge to attract foreign tourists. It takes time to reconnect with traditional clients and cooperate with relevant agencies to ensure best service to travelers.”

The Ministry will improve capacity building with national vocational standards to prepare sufficient staff for the industry, he added.

Concluding the session, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue praised the practical and responsible responses from the Ministers and asked the government to improve the issues raised by deputies.
