Event Summary

Challenges such as over-tourism at major destinations and the development of tourism satellite city were already apparent before the global outbreak of COVID-19. Japan and Vietnam have discussed how both parties should take actions to address these challenges now that tourism is gradually recovering from the pandemic.This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Vietnam. This spurs us to continue working towards "sustainable tourism" and at the same time further develop two-way exchanges and mutual understanding between our two countries.
