This is targeted at contributing to turning tourism into a spearhead economic sector of Vietnam.
By 2020, the Government plans to develop a comprehensive and modern infrastructure system for three to five tourist attractions and provide support to improve access to 30 national tourist sites.
The programme will focus on constructing major roads leading to tourist sites, a waste treatment system, lake embankment and dredging and embellishment of natural resources.
In the first 10 months of this year, international tourist arrivals to Vietnam reached more than 10 million, representing a rise of 28.1% over the same period last year.
Vietnam is expected to welcome some 13 million tourist arrivals this year, from 10 million in 2016.
