International tourist arrivals to Vietnam rise sharply in November

The increase came from the Government’s decision to allow a pilot program to reopen to international tourists under package tourism programs, through charter flights or international commercial flights flights to designated places and tourism facilities in Phu Quoc (Kien Giang), Khanh Hoa, Quang Nam, Da Nang and Quang Ninh.
