The
order came on March 18 following media reports of service establishments across
the country refusing service to foreigners, even showing signs of
discrimination against them over coronavirus transmission fears.
To maintain the image of Vietnam as a
friendly, hospitable, and safe destination, the Government leader asked that
People’s Committees of all provinces and cities take stock of all foreign
visitors in their area and direct tourist destinations to closely follow the
Law on Tourism on committing no discrimination against foreign tourists.
Complex cases that go beyond
their authority must be immediately reported to higher authorities for
settlement.
The Prime Minister assigned
the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to direct localities in the implementation
of prevention and combating COVID-19 in line with health authorities’
instructions, and put in place measures to support foreign tourists to protect
their safety.
The Ministry of Foreign
Affairs was tasked with devising guidelines and scenarios to avoid regretful
incidents and working with countries’ embassies in Vietnam in dealing with any
incident to maintain the image of the country.
