initiatives for sustainable tourism development.

Deadline for entry submission is May 31, 2018. The

In the first nine months of this year, Vietnam welcomed more than 9.4 million

percent of the assigned target, and served 57.9 million domestic travellers.
During the reviewed period, the tourism sector earned 376 trillion VND (16.5
billion USD) in revenues, representing a year-on-year rise of 26.5 percent.
The Prime Minister has assigned the sector to serve 13 million international
visitors in 2017, up 30 percent from 2016.
To that end, the VNAT has employed synchronous measures, focusing on tourism
promotion in key markets like Europe, Northeast Asia, ASEAN and China, Tuan
said.

China, participate in the World Travel Market in the UK and welcome five
