EuroCham calls for more tourist visa exemptions

The European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham) has urged Vietnam to grant visa exemptions to more markets as a way of attracting foreign visitors in the context of the economic recovery of the global travel.

The organisation said expanding visa waivers could contribute greatly to Vietnam’s tourism industry.

Vietnam has allowed passport holders from Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Russia to enter the country for a period of 15 days without a visa.

According to figures from the tourism authority, Vietnam welcomed 404,000 visitors from the US, more than 271,000 from Taiwan and more than 218,000 from Australia in 2009.
