Vietnam to welcome more vaccinated travellers from DecemberLanterns hang on a street in Vietnam's central ancient town of Hoi An, a Unesco heritage site, on June 25, 2015. Vietnam last month announced it would reopen the resort island Phu Quoc for vaccinated travellers from November. "We are moving step by step, cautiously but flexibly to adapt to real situations of the pandemic." The move follows similar steps taken by neighbouring Thailand, which will next month expand locations in its pilot scheme to allow vaccinated visitors. Foreign arrivals to Vietnam fell to 3.8 million last year down from 18 million in 2019, when tourism revenue was $31 billion, equivalent to 12% of GDP.
