HA NOI  (VNS) — A video clip advertising Viet Nam's tourism will be aired on the UK's Travel Channel from October 20.

The Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) signed a contract with the channel for the 30-second video featuring Vietnamese culture, seas, islands and nature to be screened a total of 300 times of which 20 per cent is broadcast during prime time.

Previously, Viet Nam advertised tourism on the BBC, CNN and other channels. VNAT chose the Travel Channel this time because the UK is one of Viet Nam's key tourism markets and UK nationals currently enjoy a 15 day visa waiver.

From now till the end of this year the VNAT will launch a number of promotion activities in Singapore, London (UK), Hong Kong (China) and Bangkok (Thailand). — VNS
