Workshop discusses new trends, demands in tourism development
A workshop on new trends and demands in tourism development took
place in Ha Noi on May 31, gathering managers, experts and businesses operating
in the sector.
Discussions focused on a number of topics, including requirements for Viet Nam
in tourism development in the new period, the 4th industrial revolution and
changes in tourism business, e-marketing for Vietnamese tourism, and factors
that affect tourism consumption amid global integration.
Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Director of the Institute for Tourism Development Research
(ITDR), said 1.2 billion people worldwide travelled for holidays in 2016.
The figure is likely to rise this year despite conflicts and diseases, he added,
noting that the Asia-Pacific region would maintain its position as the global
top tourist destination.
Statistics from the institute showed that 40 percent of online searches for
tourism information were done using smart phones. Tourists are taking advantage
from posts on social network and review websites on different locations. The
development of technology requires Viet Nam’s tourism sector to quickly boost
digital development.
Le Tuan Anh, Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department under
the Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism, said exploiting digital
applications are necessary for the sector to avoid setbacks.
In Viet Nam, travel agencies have quickly caught up with the trend, while State
agencies have shown little involvement, thus are yet to update their management
models in line with the tendency.
