Vietnam embarks on developing online tourismWith a growing number of Internet users in the country, Vietnam has begun to apply information technology (IT) to develop online tourism, which is also a current global trend. The new tourism promotion website, www.vietnam.travel, was recently launched by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism. However, the Vietnam E-commerce Association said that strong international brand names are dominating Vietnam’s online tourism market with a market share of about 80 percent. Tourism insiders said that in order to turn tourism into a key industry, many solutions must be carried out simultaneously, including developing online tourism. In July, VNAT officially opened a new tourism promotion website (www.vietnam.travel) with a view to enhancing e-marketing and Vietnam’s tourism promotion capacity.
