Last week, Vietnam general department of tourism and Vietnam airlines corporation signed an agreement on Vietnam tourism promotion co-operation.

The reason for their cooperation at this time is to help themselves reach a relationship at a new height.

The two side cooperated on some missions but the new mission was more difficult. The target is that by 2010 there will be 6 millions of international tourists, 26 millions of dosmetic toutists with the revenue of 5 billions USD. Moreover, it is necessary to call for foreign investment in recreation activities.

About 80 percent of tourists travel to Vietnam by air. Beside/ together with/ other airlines, about 70 percent of foreign tourists coming to Vietnam by Vietnam airlines ( Vietnam airlines carried about 70 percent of foreign tourists coming to Vietnam). With such huge tourists like this, the two sides has exchanged their views to broaden more flight lines and increase the frequency of flights.

Thời gian qua,the number of tourists coming back to Vietnam was not much/ remained low . general department of tourism should promote new tourist products as a way to encourage them back Vietnam. For example, Ninh Thuan is considered to be a barren area but a desert in Vietnam which the tourists are keen on exploring. The new tourist product of ninh thuan is to organize the formular one racing; motorbike racing or use camels to carry tourists there.

Further more/ on the other hand/, tourism companies should propaganda and advertise /promote their brands so that these brands become popular to foreign tourists. Added to this, general department of tourism will surely improve their present products and call for investors to build hotels.

It is said that the rental prices in Vietnam hotels are inconsistent , that is the reason why arrival coming to Vietnam has been still lower than other countries in the region.
