VietNamNet Bridge – The National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) has instructed travel firms to follow the nation’s laws and regulations strictly when they send Vietnamese tourists overseas. The travel firms may not design tours that include visits to casinos.
The VNAT advisory reported in Thoi Bao Kinh Te Saigon (Saigon Economic News) is evidently prompted in part by the proliferation of casinos in nearby destinations, including a number established just over the border in Cambodia.
In the official letter to travel agencies, VNAT General Director Nguyen Van Tuan told them to avoid bringing Vietnamese tourists to unsafe places. The firms were told to report to the authority immediately as soon as troubles occur.
