International tourists at the Temple of Literature.
Regarding the tourism sector, the Government assigned the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to preside over and coordinate with agencies and localities to promote tourism, effectively exploit potential international tourist markets; develop new tourism products with high quality and competitiveness to promote tourism recovery and sustainable development.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall preside over and coordinate with agencies and localities to promote the implementation of economic diplomacy, actively integrate deeply, comprehensively and effectively into the international community; prepare and carefully implement high-level foreign affairs programs, continue to deepen bilateral and multilateral partnerships with other countries and in international forums.

The tourism industry is receiving deep attention from the Party and the State. The Government will issue a Resolution on accelerating the recovery and development of tourism after the 2023 National Tourism Conference chaired by the Prime Minister. At the upcoming session in May 2023, the National Assembly is expected to issue a Resolution on facilitating visa and immigration policies, including: (1) Increasing the duration of electronic visas from no more than 30 days to no more than 03 months, valid for one or multiple entries; (2) Issuing electronic visas to citizens of all countries and territories; (3) Upgrading the duration of temporary residence certificates at border gates for people entering under unilateral visa exemption from 15 days to 45 days. Along with the Government's consideration of the decision to expand the number of countries exempting visas to Vietnam, these will be breakthrough policies that create motivation to attract international tourists to Vietnam, strongly developing the tourism industry in the coming time.
