Deputy Prime Minister Vương Đình HuệHÀ NỘI — It is time to raise awareness and our mindset about developing tourism, which must be treated following market rules, said Deputy Prime Minister Vương Đình Huệ. To make tourism a key industry, it proper policies and mechanisms for tourism are needed, he said at a meeting held yesterday to discuss a draft master plan to develop the tourism sector by 2020. This would require a review of tourism planning and making a tourism plan by 2020 with a vision to 2030 on three key points, including infrastructure, diversification of tourism products and construction of proper tourism culture. Measures to increase information dissemination, popularity, communications for tourism promotion and solutions to support tourism businesses and increasing State management efficiency over tourism were also needed, Huệ said. If every locality wanted to develop tourism, the sector could not become a key economic sector of the country, he said.
