At the meeting, the Japanese delegates appreciated tourism potential of Viet Nam with diversity of landscapes, culture and culinary in different regions. The delegates also suggested that Viet Nam should train more Japanese-speaking tour guides to meet an increasing number of Japanese tourists to Viet Nam. In addition, Vietnamese tourism office in Japan should promote its role by collaborating with Japanese tourism association and media agencies to introduce and popularize Vietnamese tourism for Japanese citizens and travel businesses.
