in its preliminary stages of development, said Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc
Dam, these individuals and companies have been credited with introducing a wide
range of innovative practices that have helped it start to take shape.

to VNAT office chief Vu Quoc Tri, the number of inbound travellers to
Vietnam during the first six months of 2017 was
higher than in the same period last year, with visitors from
China and the
Republic of
Koreaaccounting for most of the growth.
The VNAT awards, first
held in 1999, are considered the most prestigious annual awards for the tourism
industry in
Vietnam.
