Saigon Times reported that Deputy Minister Vu Duc Dam signed off on Decision No. 1355/QD-TTg approving a master zoning plan for culture, sports and tourism development in the Northern Key Economic Zone until 2025 with an economic vision extending to 2030.
The northern region, that encompasses Hanoi, Hai Phong, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Hai Duong and Quang Ninh, could attract 55 million local and international travellers by 2030 and serve as a gateway for tourism to neighbouring China and Laos.
Over the next 10 years, tourism planners believe the region could attract 9 million international visitors, about 1.2 million higher than international arrivals to the entire country last year and around 26 million local travellers.
