According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, restarting tourism requires the participation of authorities at all levels and related departments such as health, transportation, police, etc. to ensure safety in epidemic prevention and safe procedures for welcoming guests.
Specific itinerary
From October 2021: Organize training on regulations and measures to ensure safety against Covid-19, welcome tourists with services according to safety criteria. Implement welcoming domestic guests in conjunction with strict control of epidemic prevention procedures. Evaluate effectiveness and safety procedures, thereby drawing experience.
From November 2021: Deploy to welcome domestic guests from localities that have controlled the Covid-19 epidemic with safe epidemic prevention procedures (vaccination, RT-PCR/rapid testing, strict implementation of the 5K message, health declaration, QR code scanning, PC-COVID application), creating convenience for tourists.
From November 2021 to March 2022: Piloting the reception of international tourists in Phu Quoc. The subjects will be tourists from countries with good disease control and vaccination capacity such as: Northeast Asia, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Australia... However, international tourists must still ensure epidemic prevention regulations when coming to Phu Quoc.
During the period from December 2021 to June 2022, the model of opening to welcome international visitors will be replicated in a number of other destinations that have met epidemic prevention requirements such as: Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Hoi An (Quang Nam), Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa), Da Lat (Lam Dong).

In order for the tourism industry to enter a "new normal" state, the General Department of Tourism recommends that localities pay attention and promptly take measures to support tourism businesses to maintain operations, restore business activities, etc. to create the safest tourism model possible for tourists and localities.
