reader Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 From Vietnam Express Vietnam was considering welcoming fully vaccinated foreign tourists to sequestered resorts, which might not be a popular option. "I spent more than 20 years working as a tour guide in Vietnam... people want to see the wonders of Vietnam and experience its culture.. Some package holidays only last for two weeks... No one will come from overseas if they are fully vaccinated and have to spend 7 days in isolation. It is just not economically viable for them and they will go elsewhere or simply stay in their home countries". Garry Adams "If the traveler has been vaccinated and the city where he/she is going to is mostly vaccinated then it’s time to just let normal travel happen without all the restrictions. No one is going to sign up for a package where they can’t travel freely and also risk getting sent to a quarantine camp or getting stuck in a city that isn't their home for two months like what has happened." Tim "No international tourist will sacrifice seven days of a holiday to quarantine. This proposed model has been tried and failed in many top tourist destinations. Guess what, nobody came! Unless tourists have unrestricted travel options in their destination, very few will actually bother to book a trip." Christoph Holzapfel "I wouldn't worry too much about tourists arriving any time soon. No one is coming until ALL the businesses are open. Bars. Karaoke (parlors). Nail spas.What people come to do is to relax and have fun. Put yourself in a tourist’s position. Come to Vietnam while tourist attractions are shut down? Or spend your money elsewhere where you can have an enjoyable time?"
