The number is expected to hit 800,000 in 2018, Cong Thuong
(Industry and Trade) newspaper reported.
Meanwhile, more than 380,000 Vietnamese tourists visited Taiwan (China) in
2017, up 94.94 percent year-on-year.
The Taiwanese tourism sector aims to serve some 700,000 Vietnamese
holidaymakers in 2018.
The outcomes are attributable to cultural similarities shared by the two
destinations, diverse landscapes and cooperation between travel firms of both
sides.
Besides, since a memorandum of understanding on tourism was signed between
Vietnam and Taiwan in 2012, Taiwan has issued favourable visa policies to the
Southeast Asian nation.
Taiwan is famous for Ali mountain (Alishan), Sun Moon lake, Orchid Island
(Lanyu) and the National Palace Museum, together with its culture and cuisine.-

The picturesque scenery of Hoa Binh Lake has endowed its tourism site with a unique allure. In recent years, localities have been harnessing the potential of the lake area and domestic and international tourists have chosen the site for sightseeing and leisure journeys.
The Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to become a national tourism site by 2030, focusing on developing synchronous and modern technical facilities, and high-quality and branded tourism products imbued with national cultural identities. The tourist site also aims to become the largest tourist centre in the province, and one of 12 key tourist areas in the Northern midland and mountainous region
On April 5th, in Hoa Binh city, the Tourism Association of Hoa Binh province and Tourism Association of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province jointly organized a conference to promote cooperation and tourism development. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development.
