economy of a country.
The diplomat pledged the embassy’s support to enhance Vietnam – Italy tourism
cooperation.
The number of European tourists to Vietnam last year reached about 13 million,
accounting for 15 percent of total foreign visitors to the nation. The figure
for Italian tourists was 58,000, up 13.2 percent year on year.
The Vietnamese Government has decided to extend its visa exemption policy for
citizens of five Western Europe countries – the UK, France, Germany, Italy and
Spain - from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020.
