More than 173,000 Chinese tourists visited Viet Nam this month, taking
the total for the first seven months to 998,900, according to the
General Statistics Office.
Vietnamese tourism authorities have asked their
counterparts in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar to develop a
travel programme with a joint visa for Chinese nationals to attract more
tourists from that country.
More Chinese tourists will be visiting Da Nang by
twice-weekly chartered flights that have started operating from Nanjing,
according to city-based tour operator Vitours Co.
