HA NOI — The existing Tourism Law has failed to recognise the role of tourists as the mainstay of this important industry while relevant mechanisms to protect tourists' rights are too elusive.

HCM CITY — After six years of implementation, the Law on Tourism needs to be reviewed and amended to be more practical, according to officials.

An action plan for the EU-funded project “Environmentally and Socially Responsible Tourism Capacity Development Programme” was discussed at a seminar in Hanoi on July 22.

HA NOI — A 12 million euro (US$17.28 million) investment in tourism was launched by the European Union and the Vietnamese Government yesterday in Ha Noi, making it the largest capacity-building tourism programme ever initiated in Viet Nam.
